Room For Everyone - Inclusion in the Church

1 in 4 people in the U.S. live with a disability, yet many churches are not prepared to welcome all people into their building or community. How can churches become more prepared to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people they are called to serve? We can look to the scripture and to others who lead thriving ministries to learn how to be intentional as we disciple people with special needs and support families who are often excluded from their local church. Together, we will learn about resources and tools to help remove barriers to belonging.
