The Unlimited* Special Needs Ministry at Mount Paran Church in Atlanta provides opportunities for children and youth to participate in regular church programming by offering buddies to help make accommodations throughout the church experience. We are looking for 30 volunteers to partner with students who range in age from 3 years - 23 years old with various disabilities. This opportunity requires being able to serve on one of the following:
Sundays at 9:00 am
Sundays at 11:00 am
Wednesdays at 6:30 pm
OR every other Tuesday at 7:00 pm
For special events such as summer camp and weekend retreats.
You can choose to serve as little as 4 hours a month (2 Sundays or Wednesdays per month) or as much as 8 hours per month (every Sunday or Wednesday). Documentation is available for community service hours or continuing education hours. Serving with Unlimited* gives our volunteers a great sense of joy as they make opportunities available for families to participate in a faith based service each week. This opportunity is ideal for people looking for hands on experience in the fields of education, psychology, theology, ministry, or therapy programs while giving back to those in need. So, if you are looking for a place to serve your community, participate in hands-on learning experiences, and get involved with families with special needs, come check us out!
For more information, contact Jillian Palmiotto at JillianP@mountparan.com or at 404-923-8744.

Mission Statement
The purpose of our Family Ministry is to partner with parents to make strong, committed, disciples of Jesus Christ, regardless of any differences. We believe that all children are capable of discipleship and service. The Unlimited* ministry is open to all children and youth who are affected by a disability, have developmental delays, are dealing with grief or loss, or to those who just need some extra TLC. We seek to provide an inclusion experience for all children in our regular weekly programming and special events by providing buddies to accompany them throughout their experiences.
Description
We are a special needs ministry with approximately 100 families who are affected by special needs. We offer services to accommodate for children/youth with special needs in order to provide an inclusive church setting. We also offer a resource environment for children needing modified lessons, and who function better in a smaller environment. The students range in age from 6 weeks old to 26 years old. We do not discriminate against disability or severity, so we have a range of individuals that we serve. We are seeking volunteers who are willing to help on Sunday mornings at either of our 2 church services (9:00 am and 11:15 am), Wednesday evenings (7:00 pm), and for special events such as children’s and youth overnight camps and weekend retreats.
