Family Weekend Conference

Family Weekend Conference2024-11-10T16:54:30-06:00

Family Weekend Conference is a weekend experience for families within the disability community. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and individuals with disabilities are provided a place to feel welcome, worship, and be equipped as followers of Christ.

The weekend provides adapted lessons for people with disabilities, breakout sessions to encourage parents, siblings and families as a whole, special Q&A panels are put together to bring a variety of insight and wisdom, and the needs of every participant is considered and met to provide the best care. Many families in the disability community do not feel supported or included in church, Unstoppable God Ministries is dedicated to creating spaces where every need is met and every heart is encouraged.

Who is Family Weekend For?2024-10-02T16:33:19-05:00

Family Weekend is intended for families who have a member with an intellectual and/or developmental disability. We encourage participants of all ages to attend this conference and be encouraged by each other.

In a recent study, more than half of parents of a child with disabilities reported not attending a religious event or activity due to not having supports in place for their child. We want to change that.

This conference is planned specifically to tend to the various needs of our participants. Our team is working hard to create an environment that serves our participants’ sensory processing needs, medication needs, food allergies, and more. Trained volunteers will be available throughout the weekend to assist families and provide respite during breakout sessions.

What are breakout groups like?2024-10-02T16:33:00-05:00

We have four breakout groups on Saturday. The groups are for parents/guardians, special needs participants, young siblings, and teen-adults siblings. Each group will have a different focus and trained volunteers.

How will our needs be met?2024-10-02T16:32:42-05:00

Our hospitality team is committed to making this weekend fun, encouraging, and refreshing. We’re dedicated to being proactive towards the needs of our family members. From med fridges, sensory friendly planning, trained helpers, and more, we are ready to make this a great experience for all family members.

What our families are saying…

This was such an encouraging time for our family.
The resources shared will be beneficial as we are raising 3 children with special needs and fostering other children as well.

We enjoyed all the games more of this! It was well organized and loved all the volunteers who were very involved in helping to make it a success. Great choice of foods it was a warm and inviting weekend and our family will take home with us some great memories and ideas to better equip our time with God!

It was an inspirational weekend focused on bonding with our family and families experiencing our journey. We learned how to let god lead us through our journey.

Going into this not knowing what to expect I was extremely impressed with your ministry and how organized everything was and how well every scheduled activity flowed. Your mission to empower kids with disabilities and prepare/equip them to be Christ’s disciples instead of following the norm of “taking care of them” is inspirational.
