Sound amplification aids are free and available at the Welcome Center for use during any worship service.
Printed lyrics for the visually impaired are also available.
Designated seating areas throughout the sanctuary, if needed, for people with wheelchairs, walkers, or other disabilities.
A disabilities/cry room located at the back left side of the sanctuary. This room is equipped with comfortable seating and a large-screen monitor to watch and hear the service.
