Welcome to the Treasures Ministry of Tallowood Baptist Church
The Tallowood Treasures Class is a place for children with special needs, ages 6 through 18, whose
different abilities are celebrated and accommodated. Each Sunday, our Treasures listen to a Bible story, learn to love Jesus, and hear that God has plans for their lives. We have weekly music and art activities. The Treasures Bible Study is offered at 9:30 and 11:00 on Sunday mornings, with the option of staying for both hours. Our regular volunteer teachers are helped each week by a rotating team of loving volunteers of all ages.
For more information, please contact our Children's Minister, Carol Kleckner, at ckleckner@tallowood.org.
