Equipping Churches for Inclusive Ministry
Overview of available training modules
The Accessible Disciples Training Modules are designed to guide churches step-by-step in creating and sustaining ministries for individuals with special needs. Each module blends biblical foundations with practical strategies—covering topics such as understanding disabilities, training volunteers, creating accessible environments, adapting Bible lessons, and partnering with families. Through hands-on tools, real-life examples, and ready-to-use resources, these modules equip churches of any size to move from awareness to action. The goal is simple: to help every church become a place where individuals with disabilities and their families are fully welcomed, discipled, and empowered to grow in Christ.
