My name is Tyler Lingenhag and I am a leader for our youth ministry at the Mason Street Church of Christ. Our church is relatively small so we do not have a dedicated special needs ministry. However, I have a daughter who is on the spectrum and as such we do everything we can to meet the needs of our kids where they are at. My wife and I are part of the Autism Society of the Fox Valley, attend the statewide conference every year and participate in a parent support group through out the year. We fully admit we do not have all the answers, but are consistently looking for ways that we can meet the needs of our kids. We would love to have you join us for Children's Church on Sundays or one of our Kids of the Kingdom events through out the year. If you have a child with special needs I would love to hear what we can do to help support them participate in our events. The kids we have at our church are full of love and very welcoming to visitors. They would love the opportunity to meet new kids and grow our group. In Psalms 139:14 it says, "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." We know each of our kids was fearfully and wonderfully made by the creator of the universe and as such has a special place in our group and our community.
