Cuyahoga County and The Centers applaud Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Children and Youth for investing in The Centers’ H.O.P.E. Campus®! This funding will complete construction, expand child and family services, and provide a safe, trauma-informed space where children can access behavioral health care and families can connect to the resources they need—all under one roof.

The H.O.P.E. Campus® Welcome Center will serve as a 24/7 entry point for children in crisis, offering immediate support and coordinated care while keeping kids close to home. This collaborative effort with DCFS, Juvenile Court, and other local partners sets a new standard for child wellness and healing in Ohio.

✨ R.A.P. MINISTRY IS LAUNCHING!
📅 Saturday, February 21, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

R.A.P. = Relate • Adapt • Participate

We’re creating space for real connection between the neurodivergent and neurotypical because the Body of Christ is richer when everyone can fully belong.

Join us for fellowship, worship, and a Bible study designed to help you discover how we can grow and learn together. This isn’t about labels. It’s about love, understanding, and making worship accessible for all.

Come with your questions.
Come with your ideas.
Come with an open mind and an open heart.

Let’s build the kind of church where no one has to wonder if they fit. 💙

🔹Neurodivergent refers to people whose brains work differently from what’s considered typical, affecting how they think, learn, process information, or experience the world.

It includes conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurological differences and emphasizes difference, not deficiency.

The disability community is one of the largest unchurched groups. Individuals within the disability community are looking for churches who are inclusive and accessible and that will allow them to be seen, valued and welcomed within their churches. If you are one of those churches please comment below. If not please visit Key Ministry, Ability Ministry, African American, Disabilities & The Church, Autism Faith Network, Inc.
and Invited In for more information. Remember these ministries are not optional but a mandate of the gospel of Jesus Christ ❤️
