Special Needs Students

Southwood offers a special needs Sunday School class at 8:30 a.m. during the school year. This class is a place where children of all abilities can learn about God, while giving their parents a chance to attend worship. The special needs class is led by an Occupational Therapist, Para Educator, Speech-Language Pathologist, and a School Psychologist, all who work for Lincoln Public Schools. Members of our congregation who enjoy working with children with special needs also help with our Special Needs Sunday School.

Welcoming Children to Worship

At Southwood, we encourage families to worship together. Children sit with their parents in worship, serve with their parents to make worship happen, and we are working on providing new opportunities for children and youth to help lead worship through music.
