S.H.I.N.E. Ministry

(Support. Hope. Include. Nurture. Embrace.)

What is S.H.I.N.E. ministry?

S.H.I.N.E Ministry developed out of a recognition that parents and guardians need time for their own spiritual refreshment and well-being apart from those for whom they care. Our desire is to provide such a resource for parents and caregivers that allows them to freely worship on a Sunday morning, knowing their loved one is attended to and close by, but not having to worry about being interrupted during the worship service.

 

What we offer:

  • A safe, comfortable place near the worship area designed for the needs of individuals with disabilities while parents & caregivers attend church worship service.

  • A setting designed for the needs of intellectually and physically disabled that is able to serve up to five (5) individuals during the Sunday 11:00 am service.

  • Staff trained in caring for individuals with diverse intellectual and physical needs.

  • Prompt communication connection via paging system in the event of a medical or personal situation that requires the presence of parent or guardian.

What we can NOT offer:

  • Hygiene care (changing area is available for parent/guardian use).

  • Administration of medications.

  • Intervention for behavioral concerns.

  • Care for a child who is ill or has had a fever in the past 24 hours.

  • Care for individuals who have not completed forms, interview, or signed up prior to 11:00 am worship service on a given Sunday.
