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!
