THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Woodlands United Methodist Church (The Woodlands UMC) has a history of caring about the emotional and physical needs of those with special needs and their families.

Through the grace of God, The Brookwood Community provides an educational environment that creates meaningful work, builds a sense of belonging, and awakens genuine purpose in the lives of adults with disabilities. They are bringing their wealth of knowledge and practical applications to the newly renovated special needs facilities at The Woodlands UMC to work with adults. Brookwood Woodlands will operate a full-day work program from Monday – Thursday for the participants. Those adults with intellectual disabilities admitted to the program will learn the skills needed to perform their job when they are hired.
