WELCOME TO EMBRACING MINISTRIES

Empowering young people with disability, along with their families and carers, to flourish through faith, community and connection.

Faith. Inclusion. Belonging.

At Embracing Ministries, we walk alongside children and young people with disability, along with the families and carers who support them.

Grounded in Christian faith, our programs create spaces to grow spiritually, build connection, and experience joy in community.

We also support churches in becoming places of genuine belonging, where children, young people, and their families are welcomed and included.

Kind Words

As a father with two children with special needs, I appreciate that something like Checkpoint exists. It's easy to become isolated and to feel your world gets so small when you're raising special needs kids, but Checkpoint gets me out of the house with other men going through similar things. Just being together helps. Feeling as though others can relate to your struggles helps. Talking helps. Movies and cross training also help! If your'e reading this and not sure about coming, I'd say you ae better off to at least try coming along when you can.

A fun and rewarding experience. I will definitely come again.

Being a mentor is great. It’s such a good experience to learn and grow from. I feel I’ve gained so much, patience, conversation skills and the ability to listen.
