SPAC Accessibility Survey Part 1
Our church longs to grow in the area of hospitality, helping people feel at home with God, others, themselves, and creation. Our Accessibility Team invites everyone to participate in this short survey to help us gauge our community’s collective understanding of accessibility, disability and inclusion and identify areas for improvement. Part 1 of the Survey is for everyone to complete. If you prefer, you can also contact our office to complete this survey with a printed version, over the phone, or in person. If you or a loved one have lived experience with disability, we invite you to complete Part 2 of the survey. A link for Part 2, will be emailed to those who choose that option at the end of this survey. Survey closes June 15.
