The Glory of God in Human Disability
We recognize that including people with disabilities into the life of DCC requires humility, creativity, and personal sacrifice. DCC, therefore, is seeking to grow in this area.

Programs
CKids Buddy Program
We aim to include every child within the worship and ministry of DCC. To accomplish this, we offer to pair a volunteer, a Buddy, with a person who has a disability to support them in fully engaging in discipleship, worship, and fellowship settings. You can learn more about Buddies by reading the volunteer description.

Access Bible Study
Access Bible Study is an Equipping Hour class created to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The class focuses on helping participants grow in Christ and build fellowship with others. During the class time, we study the Scripture that will be preached in the sermon. We also welcome DCC members as guests to help strengthen connections within the body. If you would like to join the Access class or would like to learn more, email .

Respite Events
Respite events are designed to support parents and caregivers by providing them with a break while their child or adult with a disability is cared for. Many parents and caregivers have identified respite as one of their most significant needs. To learn more about respite events, click here.
