Groups and Events
We offer a range of other community groups for all ages for people with physical or cognitive disabilities, and their families.
We also run or support several events, including our camps, Disability Awareness Sunday, and the Soul Lounge at Festival One.
Elevate Youth Collective
Elevate Christian Disability Trust runs a programme for young people with cognitive disabilities to grow in their faith, make friends, and give back to their community. The group is based in Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand.
Christian Fellowship for the Disabled
We have nine regional Christian Fellowship for the Disabled (CFFD) branches in New Zealand.
CFFD is primarily for people with physical disabilities, but most of the groups welcome all people with disabilities.
Joy Ministries
Joy Ministries gives individuals with an intellectual disability the opportunity to come together to worship and learn about God.
Drop-in Centre
The Drop-in Centre is based in Auckland, New Zealand, and is a great place to connect with other people with disabilities.
Elevate Camps
Elevate runs two camps with different purposes. These camps are called Family Camp and National Camp.
Disability Awareness Sunday
Disability Awareness Sunday (D.A.S) is the third Sunday in June, each year. D.A.S in 2027 is the 20 June.
Churches are invited to dedicate their service to disability awareness.
The Soul Lounge, Festival One
We support the Christian music festival, Festival One, to provide support for festival-goers with access needs to attend the four-day event.
Festival One is held at Hartford Farm in the Waikato region, each weekend in January.
