    In this episode, Student Minister, Jess Berryhill, shares about the special needs ministry she has built for the students at Mt. Pleasant Church. She walks through the story of how their special needs ministry started, the heart behind it, what helped it grow, and what it looks like now. We also talk about including special needs students versus separating them from the whole of student ministry, what trips and retreats look like, and how to partner with parents throughout the process.
