Social Connection

This is not a daycare. This is a community where adults with disabilities (ages 18+) are equipped, valued, and empowered to lead, grow in faith, and live out God’s unique purpose for their lives.

What is it?

  • Our program is tailored specifically for adults (ages 18+) with disabilities who want to discover their God-given value, grow in their faith, explore practical life and job skills, and build meaningful community.

    Our desire is for every participant to experience belonging, growth, encouragement, and meaningful Christ-centered community within an environment where all individuals are respected and supported.

    Programming is in a group setting, so participants should be able to safely engage as a part of a group. See participant guidelines for more information.

  • Every day of our program is structured with intention, balancing accessible group worship, Bible study and practical life & job skills workshops with interactive games and activities.

    We emphasize leadership, independence, and spiritual growth as participants actively collaborate on team projects to plan and host upcoming community events.

    To ensure a comfortable experience for everyone, transition breaks are integrated throughout the day.

  • Programming takes place Monday and Wednesday from 9am-2:30pm. Participants may join for one or two days per week.

    Meeting dates for the full 6-week cohort are:

    August 10th-September 16th, 2026*

    *No programming on Labor Day (September 7th, 2026)

  • Our campus is located at:

    15303 S. Gilbert Rd. Gilbert, AZ 85295

  • Our 6-week pilot program offers two flexible scheduling options to fit your needs:

    • 1 Day Per Week: $85 per day

    • 2 Days Per Week: $160 per week

    What This Covers: This covers a structured, 5.5-hour daily schedule with adapted curriculum materials for Bible study, life and job skills, dedicated access to our on-site computer stations, and community social activities.

    We never want cost to be a barrier to participating. We are happy to explore financial support options with you as part of the interview process.

    > As a non-therapeutic church ministry, tuition does not cover transportation, medical/personal care assistance, or meals. Participants are invited to pack their own lunch daily. We have a refrigerator and microwave on-site that are available for use.
