Autism Action Partnership (AutismAction.org) is proud to acknowledge Messiah Lutheran Church as a COMPASS Partner for their commitment to inclusion and efforts to welcome individuals and families impacted by autism.
“We’re proud to have Messiah Lutheran Church join our growing network of COMPASS Partners,” said Kelly Nielsen, Education & Outreach Manager at AAP. “Their efforts to better understand and support autistic individuals show how small, intentional changes can make a real difference. We look forward to seeing how they continue to create a space where more people feel comfortable, welcomed and included.”
What is involved in becoming a COMPASS Partner:
Messiah Lutheran Church has pledged a commitment to their inclusion journey, continually seeking to learn from those they serve, and to collaborate with Autism Action Partnership on achieving their goals. Autism Action Partnership offers ongoing training, technical assistance and consultation to COMPASS Partners to support the attainment of self-identified inclusion goals.
“Messiah is excited to be a Compass Partner. We are grateful for Autism Action Partnership’s support as we walk this journey together. Messiah is committed to creating welcoming, affirming, and inclusive spaces. With AAP’s help, we developed a worship service that meets people where they are and provides a comfortable space to experience community, praise God, and celebrate our diversity. We are grateful to serve our congregation, our community and neighbors in diverse ways,” said Pastor Erick Hill.
