Disability Ministry

Inclusive Sunday School (children birth-6th grade)
Children with special needs are included in age and ability-appropriate ministry environments by providing 1-on-1 buddy support. Buddies walk along with the child, giving support at the level needed to help your child participate, learn, grow and serve along with their peers.

Mentor Support (teens and young adults)
Students and young adults are supported at their different gathering points on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings by a team of dedicated volunteers. Students and young adults are welcomed and encouraged to join in with their peers for special events that take place throughout the year. Volunteer support for these events is offered as needed.

Shepherds Class (youth through adults) – Room 312
This self-contained ministry environment is for adults with developmental disabilities and geared toward the specific learning needs of those who attend. Periodic social events are planned throughout the year. This class meets during the 9:30am and 11:00am ministry hours on Sunday mornings.

Conquerors Class / Sensory Space
Located on our Calvary Kids level, these classrooms function as a place for kids affected by disability to gather during either ministry hour. Kids with buddies that need a short break from their classroom can use this space to regulate their bodies and take a brain break. We also use this space to help our kids engage in Bible learning at a pace and understanding level that meets their unique needs.

Shoulder-to-Shoulder (Dad's Small Group)
