Image Bearers Sunday Class
EVERY Sunday, During the Sermon
Sunday class during the sermon time, specifically designed to provide a space for adults with physical or intellectual disabilities to learn the Scripture in a simplified, more visual learning environment. We will have buddies available to sit with / aid anyone needing a hand.
Each month we will be going through one of the lessons from Camp Promise’s Truth Seekers Devotional. Each week will include a video lesson and some teaching, along with crafts and a memory verse. We will have a paper to send home with what we covered in class that day.
Everyone will start in the Sanctuary for the worship service. After worship, the Image Bearers will be dismissed to their class. Everyone will meet just outside the back of the sanctuary, by the left exit, where buddies will assist everyone to class.
Below are some of what we hope to do most weeks:
- Prayer requests/prayer
- Video
- Lesson
- Verse of the Month (there is also an ASL video for each verse)
- Craft and Discussion
- Songs
- Prayer
- Dismiss to gym

Next Sunday:
Buddy Training Lunch
NEXT Sunday, May 17, 2026, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Learn how to befriend those with physical, intellectual, or emotional challenges, and do it over lunch! Includes tips for conversations as well as how to work with kids or adults in classroom settings.
As we begin offering more opportunities for those with special needs to participate in our programs, we will need buddies to come along side of children and adults who are participating. This training will help prepare you to be a buddy in Children or Youth ministries or to volunteer in any of our adult "Image Bearer" initiatives.
FREE training for Teens, Adults or Families - lunch is included!
Training led by Rachel Kessler, who works for Camp Promise Ministries, developing curriculum and helping with camps throughout the year.

Promise Club - May 30
May 30, 2026, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Time to sing and learn about God, meet others over lunch, do fun activities, and build friendships. Our goal is to hold our first club on May 30, then hold one or two additional ones later in the summer, moving to a monthly schedule starting in September.
Clubs are designed for adults with physical or intellectual challenges. Caregivers are welcome to attend, but not required. Adults, teens, and families are welcome to volunteer as buddies or to help in other ways (proper clearances required).
Clubs are FREE. Everyone should bring their own bag lunch.
VOLUNTEER Registration OPEN now ... Attendee Registration Opening Soon.
