GRACE DISABILITIES
At Grace, we recognize the essential and invaluable contribution of ALL people to the life of the church. Grace Disabilities strives to ensure that individuals and families affected by developmental disabilities, hidden disabilities, mental health challenges, trauma and other unique life experiences are fully empowered, supported, and always weaved into the fabric of our church.
Rest Day
Rest Day has become one of Grace Fellowship Church’s largest outreaches to the community, enabling parents of children with disabilities an afternoon of rest. Their children enjoy an afternoon of activities all in a safe and fun environment with our volunteers and trained staff.

Grace Kids | Buddy Ministry:
The Buddy Ministry provides 1-on-1 care, discipleship, and friendship to children that would benefit from extra support in the classroom, many who are affected by disabilities. Buddies partner with children to participate in the classroom that most appropriately meets their needs. Our Buddy Room is available for those that would benefit from a quiet and sensory friendly space. The Buddy Ministry provides the opportunity for parents and caregivers to worship together, knowing that their child is in great care. Please reach out if your child would be best supported by having a buddy during services or other events!
