I know this personally because my family and I have gone to MBC for nine years. It takes us about 30 to 45 minutes to drive there but it's so well worth it. This was the first church I encountered that gave and showed my autistic son, Jordan and my family genuine love, acceptance, and support. The head Pastor is Lon Solomon. He too has a Special Needs child. Because of this, he feels that God put it in his heart to start a Special Needs Ministry. Your Special Needs family member is so welcomed. MBC has 'Sunday school' for our loved ones. With a full-time RN on premises during every service (Saturdays and Sundays), we can comfortably pay attention to church service while our precious children are so well taken care of. By the way, Jordan loves church and becomes very upset when we miss church!
