We explore how to make the gospel accessible by grounding disability ministry in Scripture and simple, practical steps. We share stats, a personal story, and a roadmap any church can use to welcome, disciple, and empower people with disabilities.

• defining disability across physical, intellectual, developmental and sensory
• acknowledging whole-person impact across body, mind and spirit
• confronting the church accessibility gap with clear data
• rooting creation and purpose in Genesis 1, Psalm 139, John 9 and the Great Commission
• starting small by assessing needs already in the church
• recruiting volunteers with a learner’s heart, not rare “special” skills
• training on mission, policies, safety and disability strategies
• building Sunday structures with buddies, flexible rooms and supports
• planning inclusive events and sensory-friendly options
• using simple, concrete, multisensory teaching and clear routines
• preparing for transitions and preventing escalation with known supports
• elevating gifts so people with disabilities serve as vital members
