Our Mission
To create a vibrant and inclusive community that fosters lifelong friendship, fellowship, and fun for adults with special needs, ensuring they have a place to belong and thrive beyond formal education and youth groups.
Our Vision
We envision a society where adults with special needs are embraced, valued, and empowered to lead fulfilling lives, surrounded by a supportive network of friends and peers.
Core Values:
Community: We strive to build a strong and supportive community that fosters meaningful connections, promotes social interaction, and encourages personal growth for our participants
Empowerment: We are committed to empowering adults with special needs by providing opportunities for personal development, skill-building, and self-expression, enabling them to reach their full potential
Joy and Fun: We believe in the power of joy and fun to enhance the lives of our participants. Through engaging activities and events, we create an atmosphere of happiness and laughter, promoting overall well-being and a positive outlook.
The Lighthouse Group
A program that is dedicated to providing a supportive community for adults, ages 18 and up, with special needs. Our services cater to adults who have a range of development disabilities, whether physical and/or mental. Currently, services are provided one night a week in the Fall, Winter and Spring months to individuals residing in Orange County.
Lighthouse has become a staple in the community by providing participants a safe environment to be themselves and grow, connect with others, have fun, thrive in interpersonal relationships, as well as their relationship with God.
