Accessibility
We are working toward becoming a completely accessible church by providing:
- Reserved handicapped parking
- Two outside ramps from the parking lot into the upper and lower levels of the building
- A chairlift between the upper and lower levels of the building, run by people who are trained to operate it
- Easy access throughout the building as hallway fire doors are open all of the time and only close when the fire alarm rings
- Handicapped-accessible bathrooms
- Large-print hymnals
- Assistive listening devices for use in the sanctuary
- Chairs in the sanctuary with arms that make it easier for people to rise and sit
Plans for the near future:
- Automatic door opener on outside doors
- Automatic door openers on restroom doors/special lever handles
- Portable ramp to increase accessibility to the dais in the sanctuary
In addition, we are implementing ways to make social events and services more comfortable for people with food and scent sensitivities.
We welcome families with special needs
UUCWC’s religious education teachers develop and implement curricula and activities that help children and teachers develop an awareness of the requirements of children and adults who have special needs, so that all people who attend services and events at UUCWC feel included and welcomed in this faith community.
