The SBTC believes every family should have access to the gospel and a church to call home. We are passionate about helping churches be more accessible to special needs families through our training and networking events, consultation services, and Special Needs Ministry Sunday.
Disability Ministry
How we can help:
Disability Ministry Sunday
Disability Ministry Sunday is a time to celebrate those who for too long have been forgotten or neglected. As pro-life churches who see the beauty of everyone made in the image of God, we honor them and remind ourselves that a church is incomplete without the gifts and blessings that people with disabilities bring. We also use Disability Ministry Sunday as an opportunity to educate church members about the value of all people, a way to share more about how churches can make accommodations for those who need them, and as an outreach to special needs families who are longing for a church home.
Ways Churches of Every Size Can Celebrate Disability Ministry Sunday:
1
Feature a testimony from a special needs family that attends your church
2
Have people from your disability ministry serve as greeters, read Scripture, or provide special music
3
Share a video of those who are a part of your disability ministry interacting in their classes and serving the church with their gifts
