ACCESSIBILITY MINISTRY

EMBRACING ALL ABILITIES

 

The Accessibility Ministry at Henderson Hills is dedicated to removing barriers that inhibit individuals of all abilities from accessing the gospel, growing in their relationship with Christ, or fully participating in church activities. We strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone is loved unconditionally and is able to find a place of belonging as they experience spiritual growth in a church family.

JOYFUL SOUND CHOIR

The Joyful Sound Choir welcomes teens and adults with special needs for a joyful time of singing, percussion, and worship every Wednesday (August-May) from 4:45-6 pm in the Green Room. Beyond weekly gatherings, the choir leads worship at Henderson Hills twice a year and celebrates their talents with a year-end talent show. Led by Terri Johnson and Randy Lackey, the choir offers a fun, inclusive space to connect, worship, and share God's love through music. Prior to your first visit, please complete this form.

- Please walk choir members to the Green Room doors.
 

- When door drop-off is not possible, instruct members to go directly to the Green Room and remain there until dismissed. 
 

- Choir members needing to leave the room should notify an adult volunteer.

 

- There's a waiting area for parents, caregivers, and guardians just outside the Green Room.

EVENTS

We also offer Wednesday night activities, a Joyful Sound Talent Show, Vacation Bible School for Kindergarten-5th grades, and an adult special needs Christmas party. We have formed a team for the Autism Oklahoma Walk and hope to plan more engagement activities and awareness participation in the future.

SAFETY & SECURITY

Our goal is to ensure, to the best of our ability, the safety, and security of our church members, beginning with our youngest and most vulnerable ones. We take every precaution possible and adhere to a three-fold approach to safety:(1) worker training and screening, (2) on-site security personnel, and (3) secure child check-in system. Furthermore, classroom doors have windows so that activities are visible from the hallways and video monitors observe activities around entrances and hallways.

 

Recognizing and Reporting (RR) training is a mandatory qualification for every person working with children (birth through college) and adults with special needs at Henderson Hills.

 

Each volunteer leader and paid staff member must undergo a background check, interview, and reference check and complete a Recognizing and Reporting training session.
