Our Mission is to help the ministries of King of Glory include, support, and accommodate so all may serve, worship, and share God’s love in our community.
Our focus is to provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to fellowship and worship in a safe environment. We provide ways for members and guests to communicate needs and reduce barriers that prevent active participation in the church’s life, all while encouraging our faith community to grow in knowledge and inclusion of all God’s children.
Sanctuary Sensory Room
The "Sensory Room” is an extension of our sanctuary where individuals can go during worship and still see and hear the service. This is a safe place to retreat to when participating in group worship, with all the noise and movement, becomes overwhelming. The Sensory Room allows those with differences, such as ADHD or autism, who cannot remain seated for long periods of time quietly, to participate in worship without disturbing those around them. The room has two doors for entering and exiting, one into the sanctuary for communion and one into the narthex. We offer comfortable seating for families and a large picture window so families can remain a part of the King of Glory community.
Worship and Classroom Resources
Fidgets
A fidget is a small object that can be squeezed, pulled, or moved around as the child sits and listens to the teacher or participates in worship.
Children naturally move their bodies, which is why sitting still can be a challenge. It becomes an even bigger challenge for children who struggle with ADD, ADHD, or who are on the autism spectrum. Using a fidget can be a great way to allow the child to move and stay focused.
Sensory Cushion
A seat cushion that improves children’s posture and focus at the same time. It has a bumpy side and a smooth, so a child can choose the type of tactile input they need. The cushion provides active seating along with tactile input, encouraging children to wiggle while still improving focus. It also helps them to stay in place. They’re great for children with ADHD and sensory processing issues.
Joyful Spirit Worship Service
