Bright Kids

Mission Statement
We desire to be an inviting congregation that is intentional about finding ways to worship among, mutually support, and serve alongside people with disabilities and their families in fellowship. We desire to be a venue where every person is able to come worship, strengthen their faith, and deepen their understanding of Christ our Lord.

Our congregation is called to have an impact on the Cabot community. We desire to be an inviting church that is intentional about finding ways to worship among, mutually support, and serve alongside people with disabilities and their families in fellowship. We invite you to help us realize this vision.

Do you know people with disabilities who might want to be part of our church family? Do you, or a member of your family, have needs that we can help meet or support we could provide? Or would you like to help welcome and support people with disabilities and their families into our faith community? Your answers to this brief questionnaire will help us identify steps we can take to become a congregation known for showing God’s love and hospitality.
