Many families find it difficult to engage in a local church because the additional needs of their child simply can’t be supported. Calvary Champions is a purpose-built environment and children’s ministry program which provides inclusion for children with additional needs, empowering them to grow in faith and their families to find community.

What Calvary Champions Offers 

Calvary Champions is a children’s ministry program for children with disabilities and/or additional needs, aged 3-12. Our program takes place in a purpose-built space, engaging children through our multi-sensory room and motor learning space. The Calvary Champions program allows each child to engage in a Bible teaching curriculum, and worship experience. Our program is facilitated by a team of passionate and trained volunteers and overseen by qualified professionals in the disability field.

Why Calvary Champions Exists  

The Calvary Champions program exists because we believe that every child is unique and made in the image of God. We are dedicated to creatively engage children with additional needs in learning the Gospel of Jesus, developing a relationship with Jesus and to experience the love of God. We recognise that families often cannot attend church as the physical, emotional, and social needs of their child cannot be supported. The creation of the Calvary Champions program allows for specialised facility design and individual supports to ensure children of all abilities and their families can engage and flourish at church.

We want to get to know your child, their needs, and understand how we can best support your family at church. In order to do that, we do require that each child is registered for our Calvary Champions prior to attending.
