Accessibility of Building and Programs
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, parish hall, and community room are fully accessible to those using wheelchairs or having limited mobility. We do have rooms in the church basement and parsonage/office building that can only be reached by stairs. The restroom in the office building is not accessible, but the restroom in the church is.
Sight
Large print hymnals and a braille hymnal are available. Please ask any usher for assistance. If you would like an orientation tour of the church and parsonage, contact the church office to make arrangements.
Hearing
We have wire loop technology connected to our PA system and several portable sets with headphones. Ask an usher for assistance.
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 Religious Education 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 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.
