Strategic Initiative #2
Enhance the Ministry’s Excellence in Disability Services
Service excellence has been a part of the ministry’s efforts for over 75 years. In 2025, the Adult Day Service program was established to create more program opportunities and build on the success of Inspired coffee shop. For the next stage in the growth of such services, Inspiration Ministries has plans for the following:
Open New Adult Day Services Center
Estimated Expenditures: $300,000
By renovating the current 4,500 square foot former retail store, the ministry can serve 40 clients or more taking advantage of the Adult Day Services Program. This program serves a vital need in our community by providing group learning and social experiences for people with disabilities who have a stable living environment elsewhere. Often these are adults living with their families or in their own apartments who are not in the workforce but need a stimulating environment to thrive. The Adult Day Services program is a mix of activities on our campus as well as daily outings in the community. We have seen many of the participants in Day Services improve in their mental health, communication skills and motivation through their connection with their peers in the program. The Center will also have new façade, signage, and curb appeal enhancements.
Research and Develop New Programs
Listening to the disability community to enhance programs is vital to maintaining excellence. While the initiative to do so does not require expenditures, it will be the responsibility of the leadership to continually monitor effectiveness of current programs and to search out new ways of serving both residents and those in the community.
Strengthen Employment and Outreach Program
Estimated 18-Month Staffing Expenses: $190,000
To meet the heightened demands for community opportunities and training, additional activities will be implemented and staffing added. This facility will host events for the greater community and partner organizations such as dances, craft nights, concerts, indoor sports, workshops, support groups, educational/life skills training. This will bring opportunities for our residents and Adult Day Services participants to offer events to a broader network of families and those living with disabilities. We anticipate offering a full schedule of evening and weekend activities serving a broad age range, from youth to seniors. This initiative includes adding a Community Outreach Coordinator and Event Coordinator to our Life Enrichment team. These roles will provide essential leadership and expand our capacity to grow, sustain, and diversify programming.
In addition, we are exploring the potential introduction of a pre-vocational training program and supported employment services, including job coaching, to help address the significant employment barriers faced by individuals with disabilities. These services will focus on building job readiness, workplace skills, and pathways to meaningful employment.
