ABLE

Making a way for every person to belong

At Citizens Church, we believe that each person is made in the image of God. We desire to come alongside and support every individual to the best of our abilities. Because of our deep conviction and desire for those with disabilities to belong in our church, we created ABLE. ABLE stands for access, belong, learn and equip.


ABLE provides ACCESS to the gospel, community and care; makes a way for every person to BELONG; provides instruction so each person can LEARN in a way suited to his or her needs; and EQUIPS all people to do the work of ministry. See below for what we currently offer in our age-specific programs.

LittleCity and KidCity

LittleCity and KidCity

We aim to create a welcoming environment every time a child is in our care. In both Preschool and Elementary Ministry, we have a philosophy of inclusion. We make every effort to have children of all needs included in their age-specific classrooms, programming and events. 


When the need arises, we will assign a child an adult buddy who will provide one-on-one support while at service. Buddies are assigned only by request of the parent or guardian. Both the buddy and the parents work together to make a plan to provide the right amount of support for each child. If you want more information about how to support your child within LittleCity or KidCity, please contact us.

We hope to create a welcoming environment where all students can gather to worship God together. Soon, we hope to offer more tailored worship and community options for our 6th-12th grade students with disabilities. If you want more information, please contact us.

Adults with disabilities are always welcome in our Sunday worship services! In addition to worshiping with our church body on Sundays, we offer a class during the 11 am service called Strong and Kind! Our Strong and Kind class is for those 17 years and older.
