Group Home Ministry

Norma Waldbauer, one of Chamberlayne's faithful members, expressed to her peers and fellow Virginia Baptists the need for a ministry to people with special needs in the 1970's. In 1984, Mrs. Waldbauer established a "Special Friends" Sunday School Class for adult men and women with special needs. By the early 1990's, she encouraged CBC to consider a deeper level of commitment by entering into a group home ministry for adults. A study and research committee formed and in 1995 proposed that the church begin a group home ministry for adults with special needs.

 

Chamberlayne continues to support both the Norma S. Waldbauer Home and the "Friends" Sunday School Class.
