Spiritual development is essential for believers with disabilities, requiring intentional discipleship processes that adapt strategies while maintaining the same goal of becoming more Christ-like. Tracy explores how churches can create environments where every person has the opportunity to know Christ, grow in Him, and serve Him with their unique gifts, regardless of ability.

• Over 65 million Americans have a disability (25% of population), yet over 80% are not in churches
• Spiritual development takes place as believers become more like Jesus through intentional discipleship
• Building a disability ministry starts with creating physical accessibility (bathrooms, doors, sensory resources)
• Mentorship and friendship form the foundation of spiritual development through intentional relationships
• Learning opportunities should be adapted with repetitive experiences, audio resources, and sensory engagement
• Every person with a disability should be equipped to serve according to their spiritual gifts
• Serving should not come from pity but from recognizing each person's God-given purpose
