Our desire as a church is to offer a place for every soul to grow in their faith while feeling seen, loved and included. That's why we created WAVES!
WAVES exists to inclusively share the love and Word of God with children, students and adults with special needs through adaptive curriculum, loving volunteers, sensory-friendly support and a safe and nurturing environment.
We'd love to see you and your loved one(s) this Sunday as we Welcome And Value Every Soul!

Because inclusion is our overall goal with everyone, a buddy serves to help assist a student in a typical class. Children can remain with their peers unless they need a break. We want each child to have a consistent buddy, or pair of buddies, where relationships are fostered and trust is gained. A buddy’s role is to help facilitate meaningful connections between your child and their leader and peers, as well as help your child grow to know and love The Lord.

We have mutliple sensory rooms that are intentionally designed for anyone who may benefit from a smaller ratio of leader to student and modified curriculum specifically designed to meet the needs of different learning styles. In our Sensory Rooms, you can find a multitude of fun activities that engage all the senses and help make your loved one(s) comfortable.

The Hamrick’s story is important for us all to hear. For parents of children with special needs, it’s an encouragement to find a church for your family to grow together in. For churches, it’s a reminder that if we truly desire to share the Gospel with everyone, then we will be prepared and ready to welcome and minister to persons with disabilities. And for churchgoers, it’s a catalyst to become more involved in the life of the church by using our God-given gifts wherever we can.
