Access

Join us on Sunday

Access provides a Gospel-centered, inclusive environment for individuals with special needs. We believe everyone should have access to God and be an active, integral part of the church. It’s our prayer that every member of Access would grow in their relationship with God and become disciple-makers for Jesus and His Kingdom.

We go to great lengths to ensure that all our environments are safe and secure. Every room is supervised by multiple Access Team members who have been carefully vetted and thoroughly trained to care for and support the large variety of needs we see each week.

Children (Ages 2-15)

Sundays at 9 & 11 am | Check-In: Access desk

  • Beautiful Blessings is a class specifically designed for children with special needs and adapted for each child’s ability level and need.
  • Inclusion within Children and Student ministries is also offered. We will work with you on what is the best option for your child. Your child will be paired with a 1-on-1 Buddy who will help your child to be included within Children’s or Student ministry.

Jill's House

Jill’s House is a Christian nonprofit organization that loves and serves families raising children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 6-22) with profound intellectual disabilities through short-term, overnight respite care and holistic family support services. Regularly throughout the year, parents send their children with disabilities to our “respite resort” in Vienna, VA, or one of our camp locations around the country for 24-48 hour stays. The kids get an amazing experience in a safe, fun, loving, and celebratory environment. Meanwhile, their parents get a break. They get to sleep through the night. They get to go on a date. They get to give undivided attention to their other children. Most families take these things for granted, but for Jill’s House families, these are rare and precious gifts–they’re a lifeline. To volunteer or inquire about having your child attend Jill’s House, please visit www.jillshouse.org.
