The Overcomers ministry provides accommodations for the physically and mentally challenged.  More than thirty students are encouraged to participate to the best of their ability each week as workers take prayer requests, pray, sing, and teach.

Two groups of students make up the Overcomers:  physically disabled with normal or high intelligence and mentally disabled with few or no physical disabilities.  Hostesses have access to invitations to the class to distribute to the disabled.

In addition to receiving cards and attending occasional parties, members of the Overcomers class have the opportunity to benefit from the following:

Tape Ministry:  Cassette tapes of music and preaching are loaned out for a week. When one is returned, another tape may be loaned.

Alphabet Board:  The alphabet board is used by individuals who do not have the ability to communicate orally. These students can point to messages.

Spotlight on Students:  A bulletin board features pictures and articles on special events, graduation, special olympics participation, or other recognition.

Overcomers is an outreach ministry, welcoming and reaching for disabled individuals from the community; their parents and families; and those that care for the disabled during the week, such as managers and employees of facilities and the medical community.
