Accessibility of Building and Programs
We welcome and affirm people of all abilities. We have taken the following steps to assure that everyone is included and able to fully participate in the life of our congregation.
Mobility
Our sanctuary, fellowship hall and religious education classrooms are fully accessible to those needing accomodation.
Hearing
We have wire loop technology connected to our PA system. During all congregational 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.
Special Needs Children
Every child and youth will have the opportunity to participate fully in the religious education program. Accommodations will be made for children, youth, and their families due to differences in learning styles, physical accommodations, or emotional and social differences. Please contact the Director of Religious Education or our Minister 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 member of the pastoral care team or contact the minister to share your information in confidence.
Service Animals
We welcome certified service animals on our campus and in our buildings. We have grassy areas where service animals may relieve themselves. If you have any questions not answered or concerns not addressed, please contact the church office to seek further information.
