Author Description

This comprehensive guide to church accessibility and inclusive ministry will help your church embrace people with disabilities, not only as recipients of God’s love, but as partners in ministry. Previously known as the Inclusion Handbook, Everybody Belongs, Serving Together is an expanded edition featuring a plethora of new insights, resources, and tips for inclusive ministry. You will learn what you can do to improve your church’s accessibility, reflect on the biblical foundations of inclusive ministry (beginning with the life and work of Jesus himself), and hear directly from people with disabilities about what an inclusive church means to them.
