Handicap Accessibility
- Is the building handicapped accessible?
Mostly. Although all floors except the lowest level are accessible from exterior, we do not have interior accessibility between floors. We are in the process of installing an interior chair lift from the lower level to lowest level. - Is there handicapped seating?
Our main sanctuary includes a few pew cut-outs that allow those in wheelchairs to sit in community during worship. Our other worship spaces include chairs and flexible seating, so wheelchairs do not have an issue.
