SHADOW PROGRAM


A "shadow" is someone who comes alongside a child/peer/adult to lovingly help them engage in the various programs. Our desire is for the participant to experience God and participate in the body of Christ to their God-given potential, while the parent or caregiver attends our main worship service. Depending upon your desires, and your loved one’s abilities and needs, they can be fully, or partially included in the general programs and activities at Woodmen.

Please contact us prior to your first visit so we can give you more information and provide for your needs.
