Accessibility & Belonging
OUR MISSION: TO PROCLAIM + EMBODY
THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE CITY + THE WORLD
In 2 Samuel 9, we read the story of Mephibosheth. When Mephibosheth was five years old, his father Jonathan was killed in battle. Fearing that the Philistines would seek to take the life of the young boy, a nurse fled with him to the royal residence, but in her haste she dropped him and both of his feet were crippled (2 Samuel 4:4). But King David took special care of Mephibosheth. He vowed his service to the young boy, and promised that as long as he lived, Mephibosheth would have a seat at the King’s table (2 Samuel 9:7,13).
The Accessibility & Belonging Ministry exists to make the gospel and our ministries accessible to all and to remind our church that everyone has a seat at God’s table.
FOSTER/ADOPTION SUPPORT TEAM:
FAST
FAST provides prayer, encouragement, fellowship, education, and resources to families that God has given the privilege of joining in His work by fostering and adopting His children. We meet biweekly with activities ranging from a book study to guest speakers to special family events.
2nd & 4th Sundays at 9:30 am in Room B225
FOR KIDS (BIRTH-GRADE 12) WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:
We exist to make the gospel and our NextGen ministries accessible to all children and students. Through inclusive programming, carefully-crafted accommodation plans, and one-on-one buddy pairs, the team works to support our differently-abled friends, and encourage all families that no matter their child’s needs—Eastbrook can be a place for them to know the love of Jesus and find community
Can You Serve?
We are currently looking for volunteers to serve as a buddy at 9:30 or 11 am, or to serve in the sensory room during the 9:30 am hour once a month.
Contact Tom Thoburn to get your child connected, or to serve in our Accessibility ministry, [email protected].
