DISABILITY MINISTRY
Helping kids with disabilities experience the gospel.
Every Child Has A Place Here
We want kids with disabilities to experience the gospel, be fully included in the life of the church, and be supported by a team that cares deeply about their family.
We know it can be difficult for families affected by disability to feel fully immersed in the life of the church. Our goal is to help kids with disabilities be fully included in Next Gen ministry while also giving parents space to experience worship, fellowship, and Christian community.
Disability Ministry At A Glance
Age Range
This ministry spans all of Next Gen, from birth through seniors in high school.
Inclusion
Kids stay with their peers in the classroom that best fits their age or mental status.
Service Times
Sundays at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, plus 6:30 PM midweek gatherings.
How It Works
Our heart is not separation. It is support, inclusion, and care.
One On One Support
We use trained volunteers as one on one aides for kids with disabilities. Their role is to support your child so they can participate as fully as possible with their peers.
Calm And Careful Response
If your child is having a difficult time, the team will try multiple strategies and use the sensory room before contacting you. Calling a parent is a last resort because we want to do our best to help both your child and your family.
Safety Matters
All Next Gen volunteers are background checked. FBH also uses a rule of two, meaning a volunteer is never alone with a child, and the facility is secured and monitored during services.
Visiting For The First Time?
If you know you are coming, please fill out the intake form in advance. That gives the team time to prepare and arrange a one on one aide if needed.
If You Fill It Out Ahead Of Time
We can prepare ahead of time and arrange the support your child may need for the day.
If You Arrive Without It
A parent may be asked to serve as the one on one aide for that day while the team gets to know your child’s needs.
Ready To Let Us Know You’re Coming?
Filling out the intake form ahead of time helps us care for your child well from the moment you arrive.
