At Nativity, we want everyone to feel comfortable and able to participate in all aspects of our church community including services, education, youth group, special events at church and field trips, fellowship, and our ministries. We don’t want anybody to feel left out. We are all God’s children.
We recognize that everybody is different and accommodations are based on an individual’s needs. We will always do our best to provide accommodations and eliminate barriers to participation. Our goals include:
- Eliminate barriers, to the extent possible, that keep people with disabilities and their families from attending services, meetings, education and activities.
- Seek and discuss ideas to promote understanding and better inclusion of children and adults with disabilities.
- Use People First language and teach others that we are all people first before we are anything else.
- Install an amplification system and provide listening devices.
- Provide an “I need a break” room at all services, meetings, and activities so that anyone who feels overwhelmed and needs a break can have a designated space to go.
- Explore ways to provide sensory-friendly worship services and events.
