1. Special Needs Assistant at Prestonwood Baptist Church
Prestonwood Baptist Church is a large baptist church in Plano with over 200 employees and even more members. This church is large enough to house a diverse congregation, including people of differing abilities and special needs. Over time, they came to understand the value of a special needs ministry, so they created one that not only offers Bible fellowship classes but also peer activities for children with special needs (that also serve as a respite for parents).
Prestonwood is hiring a Special Needs Assistant that helps teach bible study classes to special needs children. Not only will this person help organize the lessons, but they’ll also prepare sensory-evoking materials to help make the lessons more palatable. Click here to apply.
