ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

This statement was last updated on June 30, 2025.We at Newtown United Methodist Church are working to make our site, numc.us, accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. 

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have worked to adapt this site in accordance with WCAG 2.2, and as part of this effort, we have:
Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues
Set the language of the site 
Set the content order of the site’s pages
Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages
Added alternative text to images
Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast
Reduced the use of motion on the site

Accessibility arrangements in the organization

NUMC was originally constructed in the mid 1800s. Though we are an older facility, we strive to be accessible to those with disabilities. Our parking lot provides ample handicap parking and there are no stairs required to reach our sanctuary, where Sunday morning services are held. Our offices, conference room and Wesley Learning Center can also be reached from this main level access. NUMC also offers streaming options to those who are unable to attend Sunday morning worship in person. (See our Worship tab under Ministries for more information.) Rauner Hall, our social hall, is located on the lower level of our building and can easily be accessed through a rear entrance where handicap parking is also provided.

Wesley Learning Center offers a separate, main entrance for our preschool program which includes ramp access, perfect for toddlers and preschoolers as well as those with difficulty maneuvering stairs. Access to Wesley Learning Center's lower level can be accessed by parking in the rear of the building as well.
