Do you want to be welcoming but you aren’t sure how? This webinar will help you welcome people with disabilities into the life of your church!

About the Webinar

20% of our population has a disability of some kind. Many people with disabilities don’t come to church. Can people with mobility differences get into your church? Are people with cognitive disabilities comfortable in Bible study and Sunday school? Are children and adults with autism welcomed? Do you want to be welcoming but you aren’t sure how? This webinar will help you welcome people with disabilities into the life of your church!
