At UUCDC, we strive to create an environment in which everyone can live, learn, play, sing, work, meditate, reflect, and pray, so that we grow and thrive together.

It is important to us that all be welcome here, including people with disabilities. When it comes to making our church accessible, our aim is to always meet the needs of those who have trouble getting around, are sight or hearing impaired, are children and youth with learning differences, or have other conditions.

For the Mobility Impaired

When arriving at the church with a driver, pull into the circle and drop off at the front door. Those with handicapped placards can park in spots for the disabled. Our church entrance is wheelchair accessible, but the doors do not open automatically. On Sundays, a greeter from the Hospitality Team is always close and will assist you as needed. Our Sanctuary is on the upper level and there is a lift that will accommodate a person in a wheelchair or anyone else who has difficulty with the stairs. It can be operated by one person. Push and hold the button to call the lift. If needed, ask for help with the somewhat heavy door, which also needs to be fully closed once inside. Select level I, II or III for the desired floor. If you have any difficulty, ask the greeter for help.

Between Sunday services, there is a coffee hour in the Fellowship Hall, which is accessible via a ramp down the hall to the right.

One of our gender-neutral accessible restrooms is down the opposite hall, to the left of Fellowship Hall. There are also single gender wheelchair accessible restrooms on the lower level.

For the Hearing or Sight Impaired

We have listening devices for those who are hearing impaired. They are available from the Hospitality Team before the service and may be used anywhere in the Sanctuary. Ask an usher how to use the device and note that only microphone sound is amplified. Audio and video versions of services are posted on this website. We do not have a sign language interpreter, but arrangements for one can be made given sufficient notice and need.

For the sight impaired attending Sunday services, text of hymns, our covenant, our benediction, and other material appear on video screens in the Sanctuary. Copies of hymns from the large print version of Singing the Living Tradition are available from the ushers. The Order of Service is already printed in a relatively large format, but it is also available online here.

For Children and Youth with Learning Differences

Our Religious Education (RE) programming is open and available to children and youth from pre-K to grade 12. Those with learning differences are welcome at Sunday School and Youth Programs. Parents or guardians, please contact our Director of Religious Education to discuss how we can best accommodate your kids’ needs and create a welcoming and inclusive environment for them.

Ask for Help Anytime

On Sundays, ask the Hospitality Team for help with any kind of accessibility. The team will be visible throughout the church with their white shirts, hospitality badges, and name tags. At any time, contact the church office about accommodating your needs.
