Kids
Buddy Ministry
Classrooms are inclusive for children of all abilities. We have volunteers equipped to serve as one-on-one buddies to help children with disabilities participate as much as possible. If you know a child that would benefit from having a one-on-one buddy to help in worship or classroom participation, contact Marcy Davis.
Who can be a buddy? Anyone willing to love a child and help them experience the love of Christ can be a buddy. Training is available for those interested.
Sensory Room
We recognize that some students may need accommodations during their time at FCC. Our sensory room is equipped with furniture, lighting, and tools to help children with disabilities feel secure and free to be themselves. The sensory room is staffed with volunteers during all four services.
Youth
Younglife Capernaum
On Wednesday nights, we proudly host Younglife Capernaum, a local ministry for students with disabilities ages 14-22. YLC is focused on celebrating students’ diverse abilities and sharing the gospel to all God’s people. Capernaum is an inclusive environment that gives teenagers with disabilities the chance to develop friendships, challenge their limits, build self-esteem, and have outrageous fun! Contact Maison Lowery if you would like to get involved.
The Hangar
For students between 7th & 12th grade who are better suited to traditional environments, we want you to consider the Hangar as a space to worship. If you know a student with a disability please contact students@fairfax.cc prior to them coming to the Hangar in order for us to best help them. We welcome all students to worship with us and will work to make their experience unique to how they learn.
Adults
Friends for Life
Friends for Life is an opportunity for adults with disabilities, 22 and older, to learn and grow into the men and women God made them to be. Friends for Life engages in fellowship with other believers, dives into scripture to grow in their faith, and serves the community together as a body of believers.

Serving
Come serve with us! Everyone is called to serve in their own way, and we want to create opportunities for that to happen. Our hope is to equip people of all abilities and their families to be participants of the body of Christ
