We welcome and affirm people of all abilities. We have taken the following steps to assure that no one is excluded for full participation in the life of our church.

Mobility

Our sanctuary, fellowship hall, restrooms, and religious education classrooms are fully accessible to those using wheelchairs or having limited mobility.

Sight

Large print hymnals and orders of service are always available. Please ask any usher for assistance. If you would like an orientation tour of the campus during the week, contact the church office to make arrangements.

Hearing

We have hearing assistance devices connected to our sanctuary audio system. These devices are available in the lobby. Please speak to an usher if you need to use a hearing assistance device. During all church meetings and workshops, anyone wishing to speak from the audience is strongly encouraged to use the portable microphones so those who are hard of hearing are not excluded.

T-Coil System

We have installed tCoil (or telecoil} loops around the sanctuary. This technology allows for certain hearing aids to connect directly to our sound system.

If you need more information about how this can work, please talk to your audiologist about whether this service can be enabled on your hearing aids.

Sensory Table

In our lobby, we have a sensory table available for people of all ages and neurotypes. This table contains tools and toys that can help calm a person’s nervous system when they are overstimulated or need help focusing. We have tools for drawing and coloring, fidget toys, sequin pillows, and other items that you are welcome to borrow during services.

Special Needs Children

If you want your child to participate in the religious education program and feel that they may require special accommodation due to learning disabilities or behavioral issues, please contact the Director of Family Ministries in advance so the best possible arrangements can be made.

Pastoral Care

We provide pastoral care to all members regardless of ability. To build the beloved community, the volunteers on the care team receive special training to assist those who may feel unwelcome, patronized or marginalized because of their disability. They may not be able to fully remedy every situation, but they can provide a compassionate ear and a willingness to enlist the help of others. If you have a hidden disability that you think it’s important for someone to know, please contact a minister to share your information in confidence.

Service Animals

Working service animals are always welcome everywhere on our campus. We have grassy areas where service animals may relieve themselves.

If you have any questions not answered here, please contact the church office to seek further information.
