"He said also to the one who had invited him, 'When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will b

e repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.'"

Disability ministry doesn’t just support families—it transforms them.

When churches create space for people with disabilities, something powerful happens: spiritual growth deepens, belonging increases, participation expands, and joy is shared more fully.

And these benefits aren’t one-sided, they’re experienced by both parents and children with disabilities alike.

This isn’t just about inclusion. It’s about the Church becoming what it was always meant to be: a place where every person can grow, belong, and thrive.

“Those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.” — 1 Corinthians 12:22
Every member of the Body of Christ is essential. We all have a calling to create churches where individuals and families impacted by disability are welcomed, valued, and belong. Will you answer the call?

If your church is ready to start or grow a disability ministry, we'd love to help. Connect with us for free coaching and let's build a more inclusive church together.

Nearly 47% of families of children with disabilities have left at least one church because their child was not welcomed or included.

That’s not just a statistic—it’s families longing to belong.

But this story doesn’t have to end there. 💙

What if the Church became the place where children of all abilities are seen, valued, and fully included—just as they are?

We invite you to pause and pray with your team or ministry:
How is God calling us to grow in love, awareness, and invitation for people of all abilities?

Small steps can open big doors for belonging.

Happy 4th of July! Celebrating 250 Years of Freedom ❤️🤍💙

As we celebrate 250 years of our nation's journey, we're grateful for the freedoms we enjoy—and we're reminded that every person is created in God's image and has a place where they belong.

At the heart of our ministry is a simple belief: the Church is strongest when everyone is welcomed, included, and valued. Together, we can help build communities of faith where individuals and families impacted by disability know they are seen, loved, and indispensable.

As you celebrate with family and friends today, we'd love to hear from you:

What does "belonging" mean to you? Share your thoughts in the comments. ❤️

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and blessed Independence Day!
