Our Inclusion Commitment

We believe every person is a cherished child of God. We actively strive to remove barriers so that everyone—regardless of ability, age, vision, hearing, or neurodiversity—can fully participate in worship, fellowship, study, and service.

Website Accessibility Tools

Visitor-Controlled Visual Assistance

The floating accessibility widget provides visitor-controlled tools that can increase legibility and reduce visual fatigue. Available options may include:

Stark Solid Black Text

Maximizes contrast against white backgrounds, eliminating subdued grays for effortless reading.

Highlighted Interactive Links

Hyperlinks receive distinct underlines and high-visibility yellow hover focus states.

Definitive Structural Borders

All cards, forms, inputs, and buttons are framed with solid borders for clear spatial separation.
