Fenland Community Church

Fenland Community Church

All humans are unique and loved by God, and that is fundamental to what we do.
We aim to provide a fun and accepting environment for everyone, especially people with a learning disability, to discover that they are unique, special and loved by Jesus, and can chose to respond to Him at their own level.

Our Sunday services are very relaxed and we are happy to have folk of all disabilities and none.
We try to have fun, using drama, dance, percussion instruments, flags etc.
We use a laptop and projector to enhance what we are doing - projecting photos, clipart, videos, etc
We try to run all our meetings so that everyone can understand what is going on, and we encourage everyone to join in as much as they are able.
We sometimes use Makaton signing.  We are still learning!

St John's church Failsworth

We are developing a fully accessible community space within our church which should be fully completed by May 2025, along with new toilets, one accessible.
We still need ramps into the church but are working with Oldham Council to make a gentle and safe wheelchair friendly gradient.  We have large print hymn books and service sheets available at all services and use a loop system.  We are hoping to establish a Singing for the Brain Choir and regular socials to encourage well-being and inclusion.  We are on a journey with the wider community and Roofbreakers to make St John's  as welcoming, inclusive and accessible as possible.
