Accessibility

The church is built on a sloping site overlooking the High Street and the River Leven. Consequently there are a number of different levels internally. There is level access to the youth hall from the top of chapel steps meaning that this area is accessible from Linden Road and Addison Road for people using wheelchairs, electric buggies and for children’s prams and pushchairs.

From the High Street, as well as the main front door which is at the top of a sloped pathway there is a more accessible ramped route to an electronic door that is accessible to wheelchair uses and those with prams or buggies. Once through this door a lift is available to the church’s main level. Two wheelchairs are available to assist accessing the building from street level. The youth hall is on two levels with a  steps between the two. There is a lift to connect these two areas if necessary. For the deaf or hard of hearing the church is fitted with a ‘loop’ system. To use this people should adjust their hearing aids to the ‘T’ position.

An accessible toilet with baby change is situated off the church foyer on the main level.
