How to Have an Accessible Sanctuary, Fellowship Space and Classrooms

“Pew cuts” for persons with wheelchairs, service dogs, and/or walkers are scattered throughout the sanctuary/classroom areas so that persons with disabilities can sit with their family/friends. (Pew cuts can be easily made by shortening several pews by 36 inches).

There is room at the back of the sanctuary/classroom for those individuals who prefer to sit in the back or who need to move around. Folding chairs are available for family and friends to join them in this location.

Seating space is available, with extra legroom, for people who have casts, use walkers, etc.

There is wheelchair access to the communion table and chancel area.

The choir area allows wheelchair users to participate.

The pulpit is accessible.

The carpeting is low-pile and tightly woven so wheelchairs and walkers can be easily used.

Our meeting rooms have good acoustics.
