Eagle Wings Ministries

Bringing persons of disAbilities together and the community at large together into relationship

Our Mission:

Providing relational support for persons with disAbilites, their families and caregivers by bringing the community together into relationship …so those we serve will have established support within their local geographic area.

Those we serve are isolated, and marginalized and we offer hope through friendship and love.

We serve only adults with special needs, their families, and caregivers.  We are particularly interested in serving person with limited or no resources.

Our Programs

Celebrations

Our Celebration program was uniquely designed to introduce the community of adults with disAbilities with volunteers in the local community. The purpose of the Celebration is to reach out to one another out of love and faith, to enter into relationship with one another. Our Celebrations are free and open to any adult with special needs, their families and caregivers. It is exciting to see the two populations come together and learn from one another, to bless each other and learn how to love the other well.

Life Groups

At various times each month different groups meet to learn how to do relationships. They learn how to navigate the complexities of doing life together, and how to do everything from planning outings, calling/texting each other, how to be encouraging to one another, how to set boundaries, and how to work through difficult times that life throws at us, with grace and love.

Mom Support Events

Support group for moms of adult loved ones with disAbilities, along with an annual retreat provide a safe place to come together for refreshment, community and fun.

Education and Community Awareness

We have the opportunity to go out into our community and share the gifts and impact that the people we serve have on our community. We love these opportunities because it’s a chance for our culture to rethink how they respond to people, and gain a different perspective.

Enrichment Programs

New to Eagle Wings is our Enrichment Programs that covers things like cooking, art and Bingo/game events.  These smaller group classes allow for learning as well as group participation and interaction.  We have found these to be invaluable for the people we serve who are overwhelmed by the big group events. 

 Volunteer Opportunities:

It is amazing to see the transformation of our culture come to an active and engaging one, where people are passionate and compassionate for those we serve. They see familiar faces in our volunteers out in the community and volunteers who have an experience know what to do when they see someone with a disability. Before every Celebration we gather the volunteers and give them practical tips and tools for working with the population we serve. We answer questions and review skill sets that may help them engage with people beyond the event, in their own local communities.
