Our Vision

This ministry exists to connect children and students with disabilities to the life and community of Northside Christian Church. We believe each child should have an opportunity to hear the Gospel and feel the love of Christ. Our goal is to meet each child where they are and provide them with the services they need to understand the Gospel at their level.


Our Inclusion Team

FOR KIDS

To shepherd kids best, we provide a one-on-one buddy system to ensure that each child is immersed in an inclusive environment with the comfort of a buddy to walk with them throughout each of our weekend services. Each child is matched with a leader from our Inclusion Team that stays with them throughout the entire service. We train our leaders to fully love and meet the unique needs of their buddy to the best of their ability. We hope that by having a buddy system in Kidside, we are able to foster loving relationships between our leaders and families.


FOR STUDENTS

To make Sunday morning services accessible to students with special needs, we provide a classroom that provides a safe and engaging lesson that helps them understand the Gospel at their level.





Questions?

One-on-one buddies are available at all services for children in early childhood, preschool, and elementary school.
Our children's special needs classroom is open for all three weekend services. While our students classroom, for 6th graders through 21 years old, is only open on Sunday services at 9:30 am and 11:30 am.
We have one sensory room to provide a safe and comforting space for the child when needed. We use this room in a thoughtful manner to give each child an environment where they can regulate their sensory needs while here at church.
Once you fill out the application, someone from our Inclusion Team will contact you. The leader will give you more information about what to expect and how to communicate which service you will be attending each week to ensure your child has a buddy. Please wait to be contacted by the Inclusion Team before attending for the first time to make sure they are fully prepared for your child and can support them to the best of their ability.
