GATHER
We envision a church where all people, including children and adults with disabilities, feel welcomed and included in church gatherings. We seek to intentionally embrace the unique needs and abilities of every individual through welcoming environments, adapted activities, sensory-friendly spaces, and trained volunteers. We envision a community where all people can glorify God through their unique abilities.
GROW
We envision a ministry that fosters spiritual growth in people with disabilities and volunteers through Bible studies, worship experiences, and faith-based activities that celebrate each person’s unique gifts and talents.
GIVE
We envision a church community where the time, resources, support, and care given to the ministry reflect the boundless love of Christ. Through shared faith and mutual service, we seek to empower families, enrich lives, and strengthen the entire congregation.
