God made each person in His image, and everyone has a purpose and inherent value. But many individuals with special needs and their families don’t experience this hope. So Arise offers a wide range of opportunities meant to encourage and empower the whole family.
We want to see each person rise to their unique purpose and shine their light for everyone to see!
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Isaiah 60:1
WHAT WE OFFER
(All are open to anyone - not just those who attend IBC)
ARISE SPACE AND PALS
sunday services & certain special events
We have a specially-designed, enclosed area made for individuals with special learning and sensory needs. In this space, we provide a safe, interactive, and loving environment to learn about God and build friendships with others. Our space is staffed with caring, trained volunteers, and ratios are kept low to guarantee individualized attention.
Pals are one-on-one volunteers who help individuals with special needs to participate in activities such as children’s ministry, student ministry, or even serving in an area of their gifting.
BIBLE STUDY FOR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Thursday nights from 6:30-7:30
Our Bible study is a place where adults with special learning needs can grow in their relationship with God and experience meaningful connection with others. We study the Bible together, do service projects, and have fun events such as holiday parties and bingo nights.
ARISE NIGHT OUT
once a month on saturday from 5:30-8:30
We give individuals with special needs and their siblings a night of fun and socialization, while parents get a few hours to recharge and refresh! Free of charge and all ages are welcome.
Our Night Out program has limited spots available, but we also have a wait list for when new spots open up. If you are interested in registering, please fill out our Night Out Intake Form and we will be in touch!
