Welcome to WonderPark


The mission of the special needs ministry is to lead families and individuals with unique needs into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. At LifePark, we believe this will be accomplished through inclusion of individuals with special needs and families so that there is an acceptable church environment for the families impacted by special needs or disabilities.

INCLUSION MODEL & STRATEGIES


WonderPark, The Church at LifePark’s special needs ministry, will develop an accommodation plan with each family concerning the individual with special needs. It is important to note that the special needs program is not intended to follow school accommodation plans but to allow families to participate in worship service while ministering to the special needs individual. The special needs program is a safe and nurturing environment where the love of Christ is made known by our special needs coordinator and trained volunteers. Volunteers schedules may fluctuate so families will need to be patient and understanding when one particular volunteer is unavailable

Safety & Security


The Church at Lifepark takes the safety and security of our WonderPark kids very seriously. The following practices and procedures have been adopted to reduce the potential harm to any child, as we strive for excellence in ministry to all children.

REQUIREMENTS:
  • All adult volunteers in WonderPark must complete an application and a pass security background check.
  • All adult volunteers who serve within WonderPark must attend the child protection training class offered by the church. (Reducing the Risk) and will receive training on working children who need accommodations.
  • No adult or teen is to be alone in a restroom with a child. Adults and teens are unable to change diapers of children who are not in Noah’s Park. If a child is older than pre-school a parent will be asked to come and change the child’s diaper/undergarments.
  • No adult or teen volunteer is to be alone in a room with a child.
  • No child can be released to a parent or sibling without a matching printed tag (issued at check-in).
  • Physical touch is appropriate when it is non-demanding, gentle touch to the shoulders, hands, arms, head, or back. Volunteers are unable to physically restrain a child. If needed, parents will be asked to assist the volunteer.
  • Lifepark does have a medical team available for emergency situations. WonderPark does not have a nurse on staff and cannot administer medication or handle medical equipment.
  • WonderPark will respect all conversations between parents and coordinator as sensitive and private.
  • All parents of special needs will be required to sign a consent to participate form which will promote a safe environment for the children and volunteers.
  • To ensure the safety of each child, parents are required to keep phone visible during service so that the WonderPark coordinator can reach the parent.
