Children Disabilities

Young STARS Sunday Classes -  We believe God has made each and every child in his image. We provide a place for children with intellectual disabilities or sensory challenges to worship God and to learn more about Him. We use a variety of modalities and utilize the children's individual learning styles.

         

          Who is invited: Children ages 4 - 12 with intellectual disabilities or sensory needs that keep them from participating in 

                   the children's ministry classrooms.

          When: Every Sunday at 9:30 & 11a.m.

          Where: Class room 105 in children's education wing.

 

Inclusion -  We believe God has made each and every child in His image. We provide a place for children with intellectual disabilities or sensory challenges to worship God and to learn more about Him. Some of these children learn best by being in our regular classes, but they may need some assistance. We provide support to children as they participate in children's ministry classrooms. Support can come in a variety of forms, including teacher consultation, 1:1 buddy/aide and other types of assistance.

        

          Who is invited: Children with special needs who can participate in learning and worship in children's ministry or music

                       ministry groups when provided with support. The decision of which children are likely to flourish in an inclusive

                       class and what support is needed is made with input from parents, children's ministry leaders, and the inclusion coordinator.

          When: Our inclusion ministry can take place in a variety of settings including: Sundays, 9:30 a.m. (year-round) and 11 a.m. (school year only) and other club and music

                       programs as appropriate.

 

Inclusion - We teach and disciple children with developmental disabilities to know Jesus as their Savior. We do this by providing a helper who accompanies and assists a disabled child in regular children's, youth and music ministries.

         

          Who is invited: Adults and teens with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ages 16 and up) that do not need 1-1 assistance and need to be independent in routine

                  self-care.

          When: Sunday: 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., 6 p.m. and other times/days

          Where: Locations vary.
