From Barriers to Belonging

 by Dr. Vickie Byler

Every person has been uniquely created by God and carries real value. Every person needs acceptance and a place to belong within a church community. For families impacted by disability, that sense of belonging can be hard to find. You would expect the church to be the most welcoming place, yet many families have found it to be one of the hardest places to feel included.

Most churches want to help, but many are unsure how to support families impacted by disability. Others assume there is no one in their congregation who needs that support. Barriers helps identify the challenges that keep families from belonging and offers practical strategies to remove those obstacles so every family can be welcomed, valued, and included.
