Disabilities Ministry
OUR PURPOSE
Our goal is to create a more inclusive and active ministry for the whole church in which every person, of every ability, can participate and be a valued and valuable part of the community of faith.
The Disabilities Ministry Committee meets every 3rd Wednesday at 6:30pm.
If you have questions about the Disabilities Ministry program or are interested in joining the committee or attending a meeting, please contact Angie Bateman, Committee Chair.
Disabilities Ministry Classroom
Our Disabilities Ministry Classroom is located in Room #4 and is open every Sunday morning beginning at 10:00am service. The classroom gives individuals with disabilities who may not be able or wish to attend traditional 10:15 programming a fun and safe place to worship while allowing family members or caregivers to attend service. To register for this program please complete our participant registration form.
Sunday School & Youth Programming Support
Our team will work individually with caregivers and families to make modifications to traditional programming to provide a more inclusive, accessible, and integrated experience.
Adult Education
Please check the church calendar for both youth and adult educational opportunities on accessibility & disability inclusion including guest speakers and book studies!
