Disability Ministry & Volunteers

Ensuring all people with disabilities are welcome, known and loved.

Christ Church believes all people bear the image of God and are a vital part of the body of Christ. We want all people with disabilities to belong, be included and engage in the life and community of Christ Church, as we follow Jesus in a complex world. 

Danielle Schaeffer is our Disability Ministry Director who works closely with the children, student and adult ministry teams. She will partner with your family as you engage at Christ Church. No matter what disability you have or what accommodation or adaptation is needed for your family, YOU are exactly the family we are looking for! Danielle would love to sit and have coffee or grab a meal with you and work together to make Christ Church your church home!

Friendship Bible Class | Adults | Sunday Mornings
Friendship Bible Class is a ministry for adults with disabilities and is now in its 32nd year at Christ Church! Beginning on Sunday, September 8, and alternating weeks through April, the group will meet from 10:45–11:45 a.m. in room 264. Using the Gospel Project curriculum from Lifeway Christian Resources, participants will be presented with a chronological study of the Bible to learn about God's story of redemption. Each session will include a meaningful time of worship, a presentation of a Bible story video, lesson-related discussion and practical application, and prayer. Group members are given the opportunity to deepen their faith in the Lord and support each other through fellowship and prayer.
