The Happy Place Lessons
The Happy Place at BCC is designed to give children ages 5-15 with special needs an opportunity to learn about Jesus in a fun, accommodating and interactive environment! We are devoted to ACCEPT everyone they way God made them, ENCOURAGE spiritual growth and SUPPORT families with children with special needs within the body of Christ. Our kids get an opportunity to participate in praise and worship as well as learn bible stories through hands on activities and videos. They learn and memorize scripture all while interacting and socializing with other children their age. We also have an amazing team of Buddies who are invested in helping our kids grow and learn about Jesus.
