Access Offerings

Access Club

A bimonthly community outreach ministry with individuals, 13 years and older, who have differing mental and physical needs. It is a time of FUN and fellowship. Trips into the community to experience living life to the fullest are a part of this loving ministry. Mentors provide acceptance, friendship and the gift of time and love.

Access Sunday School

We meet weekly at 9:45 a.m. in Room 302 of the main church building.

Circle of Friends

Young adults, 16 years and older, with intellectual disabilities gather on Wednesday nights to worship, study God’s Word, and engage in service opportunities. Mentors provide one-on-one, personal, and meaningful relationships and are the key to this caring ministry.
