Rejoicing Spirits is an innovative ministry created to enrich the spiritual lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, friends and other supportive community members. This is done by offering a meaningful, inclusive worship and fellowship community which shares God’s word and celebrates the message of God’s loving grace. The worship service is adapted to be more welcoming to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they are able to actively participate and have roles in the service. All Rejoicing Spirits worship is open to people with or without disability and members of congregations may prefer the more casual, open style of worship. The goal is to provide people with disabilities an entry point to church participation that would otherwise not be available.
