Notes about physical inclusion

Any additional information about physical accessibility you feel would be helpful to people with disabilities and their families

The church is very spacious and easy to manuever using a mobility device. This assessment was conducted during the COVID 19 outbreak, when most public places were closed. Because the church was closed and not offering church services, they were recording a sermon in the sanctuary for their members to watch in their homes, and I did not have access to the sanctuary. The doors to the sanctuary are wide and are usually open during service times. I was told the sanctuary is accessible and offers listening devices for the hearing impaired.
