COC's Spiritual Services are based on and carried out in numerous ways: ~~Through the Spiritual Services program people with disabilities can experience the joy of knowing they are of value to God. ~~From the Scripture we learn that Jesus during his ministry had a special concern for them. In Matthew 25:40 He tells us "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." ~~People with disabilities can make progress in their lives through spiritual care and nourishment.   Christian Opportunity Center develops the spiritual life through: ~~The interactions of staff with people supported. ~~Devotions provided for staff persons and prayer at the beginning of meetings and the work week. ~~Devotions for people supported through COC in their homes and work place. The employment of a Spiritual Services Facilitator who: ~~Meets with people and counsels, offers guidance and comfort in times of crisis and personal needs. ~~Provides guidance to nearly ten Friendship and Friends Who Care Bible Studies. These are carried out in local churches, and offer times of fellowship, learning, and participating in the church's' life and work. ~~Encourages and arranges for church attendance on Sundays. ~~Helps to organize celebrations of special days such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter, to which all people supported at COC, their families, guardians, and staff persons are invited. Spiritual Retreats are provided for staff and people supported at COC. These retreats make possible an experience at a retreat center away from COC. Those attending have an opportunity for spiritual renewal and growth. COC makes a difference in the lives of people with disabilities through acceptance, spiritual guidance, instruction, and love.
