Accessibility of Building and Programs

We welcome and affirm that each and every one of us has gifts to share, and that each of us is “temporarily-abled”. We have taken the following steps to assure that no one is excluded from full participation in the life of our church.

Mobility

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

Hearing

Although our sanctuary is small, we ask that all speakers use the microphones that are part of the sound system so those who are hard of hearing are not excluded.

Chemical Sensitivity

We use odorless candles and encourage all our members to be considerate of those among us who are especially sensitive to fragrances or smoke.

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 Youth RE Committee chair 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 are prepared to assist those who may feel uncomfortable due to some aspect 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 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.
