Here at Meck, we believe ministry should not be just to people with disabilities, but alongside people with disabilities. Together, we will encourage, equip, and learn from each other. We can all give and we can all receive.
We would love to serve you in any capacity we can.
Inclusion at Meck means that every child has the opportunity to attend church. And so does their family.
1-on-1 buddies that assist in-person families, children, and classrooms in enabling a more inclusive environment in our MecKidz program.
A space and dedicated time during the weekend in-person service times for middle and high schoolers with significant needs to know, love, and serve Christ.
A team of volunteers that works to ensure our environment and church community take steps towards becoming more inclusive and understanding of the neurodiversity that surrounds us.
You may be wondering: “What do I do now?”
Being a parent is hard and parenting a child(ren) with disabilities requires that much more love and support. At Meck, we want to partner with you on your journey as a parent of a child(ren) with disabilities. Below are a few of the many resources we have available in The Grounds Bookstore and Cafe.
