Accessibility Frequently Asked Questions

Does the church provide accessible parking options?

The church maintains a small parking lot within 50 feet of the church’s main entrance near the corner of Page Ave and Lipscomb Street. This lot contains five parking spaces designated as handicapped, but they do not officially meet ADA or TAS standards. There are no designated, van-accessible, parking spaces.Parking Lot.jpeg

Is the church building accessible to individuals with need for mobility accommodations?

The church’s main entrance is reached either by climbing a very short set of stairs that have a handrail on one side or by navigating a long and sloping ramp of twenty-four total feet. The ramp has a railing along one side of its entire length. Main Entrance.jpg

The church’s main entrance has double, out-swinging doors and a threshold less than ½ inch in height. The doors are not automatic, but greeters are present to offer assistance prior to both worship services which begin at 9:00 am and 11:15 am.

The church has a private, ADA-compliant restroom located on the east end of the building and accessed by passing through the ‘Glass Classroom’.
