Open Arms

What is Open Arms?

Alpharetta Presbyterian’s first experience with a special needs program began in 1998. A committee formed to introduce a Sunday morning program designed to provide Christian Education for children with special needs and respite during worship for their families. The Promise Class ministry has since grown to offer Vacation Bible School classes, worship opportunities, and partnerships with area organizations for Saturday and summer respite. Also, the Open Arms ministry has expanded its reach to offer support for the elderly and those dealing with cancer and chronic illnesses. Alpharetta Presbyterian feels called to address this need in our church and in the greater community by welcoming people with special needs with open arms.

Open Arms Mission Statement: The Open Arms ministry of APC is committed to fulfilling the promises made at baptism and supporting the mission of APC for individuals of all abilities by

Strengthening church family awareness/understanding of individuals with special needs
Providing the resources and support for faith formation and spiritual growth
Facilitating access to and participation in joyful worship
