Issue No. 1

In this first issue, we address the “facets of ministry” across 200 churches. In other words, we describe the breadth of ways churches intentionally serve and support people with disabilities and/or their families. In addition, we provide an overview of those churches that are active in this area—their denominations, size, ministry start date, and individuals served. View it here.


Issue No. 2

In this second issue, we examine the pandemic’s particular impact on congregational ministry to and with people with disabilities and their families. Drawing upon interviews with and surveys of 200 church ministry leaders in 48 states, we capture the diverse ways in which nine aspects of these ministries were affected. View it here.
