Karena and Joanne of Christian Horizons' community.
Faith communities today face diverse challenges. We need everybody’s gifts in order to flourish – and this includes people with disabilities and their families. Tragically, many churches and other faith communities are still not accessible or welcoming of people with diverse needs. We would love to partner with you to change this!
Get in touch with someone on our ministry team to learn how we can partner together for a more accessible future.
