Access

The kingdom of God is inclusive.

Access, our disability ministry at the Hope Collective, provides support to people of all ages with disability so that they are able to access the discipleship and biblical community within the Hope Collective and can discover and be equipped for the unique calling that God has for their lives.

Inclusion at The Hope Collective

Access Worship Experience (9&11am):
We offer a special worship experience in our Access room that is specific to meet the intellectual and sensory needs of our VIPs with disabilities during which they will worship together, engage with their peers and learn about the God who loves them! In order to ensure we have sufficient volunteers to support your child, please RSVP each week for our Sunday Worship Experience.

Inclusion Supports:
For our Access VIPs that don’t need a separate experience, but need a little extra inclusion support in the grade level rooms with their peers, we offer trained buddies to support them during our 9&11am services.

Access Youth Small Group (Sundays 11am):
Teens and young adults of all abilities will worship together, learn about Jesus through experiential teaching, and deepen their friendships with each other and with God.

Midweek Inclusion Supports (Wed. 7-9 pm):
During our midweek youth services, Access Inclusion supports will be available to our youth with disabilities so that they can engage with their peers as they worship and learn about Jesus together. Sensory supports and a separate small group are available to our VIPs that benefit from these opportunities. This group is geared towards those who do well with 1:5 volunteer to participant ratio. Support persons are welcome to come with those who do well with a higher ratio.

If you or a family member is an adult with a disability or accessibility needs, please connect with us for support in our Hope Co Community.

Hope Accessibility

The Hope Center offers inclusive spaces for individuals with disabilities to connect, worship, play, and grow. With special programs, respite care, an adaptive playground, and an accessible farm, our goal is to create a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging and purpose.
