THIS FIDGET IS FOR YOU — keep it!
Fidgets are welcome at Deer Lake.
So are you. 💛

Shine is Deer Lake Church's ministry for children and adults with disabilities. Whether your family has never found a church that "gets it," or you just need a place where wiggles, sounds, and stims are met with a smile — we're saving you a seat.

Come as you are 🌻 Every ability, every Sunday Made to shine ✨ Belonging, not just attending

🤝Shine Buddies

Caring, trained friends who come alongside your child or adult loved one — one-on-one, at their pace.

🎧Sensory-friendly welcome

Quiet space, fidgets, headphones, and no pressure. Movement and sounds are always okay here.

👨‍👩‍👧Rest for caregivers

Worship while your loved one is safe, known, and truly included — not just watched.

🌈All ages, all abilities

Children, teens, and adults. There is no version of you that isn't welcome at Deer Lake.
