Everybody Belongs.
Everybody Serves.
Disability Concerns helps churches become healthy communities that intentionally seek:
• To end the isolation and disconnectedness of persons with disabilities and their families;
• To nurture the spiritual lives of people with disabilities so that they become professing and active members of their churches; and
• To encourage the gifts of people with disabilities so that they can serve God fully in their churches. (more about Disability Concerns)

Where do we start?
A brief handbook for inclusion: The staff and volunteers of Disability Concerns have worked together to produce a brief, idea-packed resource for churches to get started with disability ministry. All Christian Reformed Disability Advocates have already received a paper copy. We offer it free for download here: Handbook for Disability Advocates. Feel free to print it yourself, or to include sections of it in your church newsletter. If your church would like one or more paper copies, please contact us.
