We have had a lot of questions about what HISability is recently with our upcoming prom. Please take a few minutes to review this information! We would love to have more volunteers and participants join us at our upcoming events too!
๐ What Is HISability Ministry?
HISability Ministry is a ministry of Roxford Church created for individuals with disabilities ages 16 and up. Our heart is to create a place where everyone feels welcomed, valued, accepted, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Our name, HISability, reflects our desire to focus on His abilityโnot our limitations. We believe that every person has meaning, purpose, and value, and we want to provide an environment where individuals can learn about God, build friendships, have fun, and use the abilities God has given them.
โI praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.โ โ Psalm 139:14 NIV
โค๏ธ Who Is HISability For?
HISability is for individuals with disabilities ages 16 and up. Whether someone has attended church their entire life, has never been to church, or has another church they attend, they are welcome here!
We recognize that every individual is different, so we strive to meet people where they are and accommodate their individual needs whenever possible.
๐ Where Do We Meet?
We meet at the:
Roxford Church Family Life Center
661 Roxford Church Road
Dennison, OH
๐๏ธ What Are Our Meetings Like?
We typically meet twice a month on Friday evenings from 6:30โ8:00 PM.
Our monthly structure is generally:
๐ First Meeting โ Full Lesson Night
The first meeting of the month focuses on a full, Bible-based lesson using Ability Ministry curriculum. Lessons are adapted and presented in ways that are accessible and engaging for our participants.
๐ Second Meeting โ Mini Lesson & Fellowship
Our second gathering usually begins with a shorter mini lesson that connects with our faith and what we've been learning. Then we spend time together through a fun fellowship activity.
Activities may include things like:
โข ๐ฒ Board games and trivia
โข ๐ค Talent shows or karaoke
โข ๐ฆ Ice cream and outdoor games
โข ๐ฆ Water activities
โข ๐ณ Bowling
โข ๐ Holiday celebrations
โข ๐จ Crafts
โข ๐ Special events and parties
โข And lots of opportunities for conversation, friendship, and fun!
Our schedule and activities can change, so be sure to follow HISability Ministry on Facebook for the most up-to-date information.
๐ What Do We Learn?
We use Ability Ministry Bible-based curriculum as a foundation for our lessons. Our goal isn't simply to teach Bible stories, but to help participants understand how God's Word applies to their own lives.
We want individuals to know that they are loved by God, that they have purpose, and that they can have a meaningful relationship with Jesus.
๐ฟ We Have Snacks Too!
Of course, no HISability gathering would be complete without snacks! ๐
We provide snacks and do our best to accommodate individual dietary needs and allergies when we are made aware of them.
๐ง We Want Everyone to Feel Comfortable
We understand that church environments can sometimes be overwhelming. That's why we work to create a positive, encouraging, and welcoming environment.
We have noise-canceling headphones available for individuals who may benefit from them, and we do our best to be flexible with individual needs.
Our philosophy is simple:
Assume competence. Encourage independence. Celebrate abilities. Show grace.
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง Parents & Caregivers Are Welcome!
Parents and caregivers have options.
You are welcome to stay and participate with your loved one, or, if your participant is comfortable attending independently, you may drop them off and return at the end of the evening.
We want families to feel comfortable with whatever works best for their individual situation.
We are also exploring the possibility of restarting a caregiver Bible study/support time if there is enough interest.
โค๏ธ Who Leads HISability?
HISability is supported by background-checked volunteers from Roxford Church who have a heart for serving individuals with disabilities.
Our goal is to provide a safe, respectful, encouraging environment where participants can be themselves, build relationships, learn about Jesus, and have a whole lot of fun along the way!
๐ Our Purpose
At HISability, we want every person who walks through our doors to know:
You are welcome.
You are valued.
You have meaning.
You have purpose.
You are wonderfully made.
And God has a plan for you.
We aren't focused on what someone can't do.
We're focusing on HIS ability. ๐
