Often the church views someone with a disability as a person to minister to, rather than a person who brings their Spirit-given gifts to build up the body of Christ, the Church.  At this virtual Imago Dei event you are invited to get to know some people with different disabilities who serve in various capacities in their church. They overcome challenges and their church family may make accommodations to support their service. The body of Christ is built up and God’s name glorified. 

The Disability & the Church Conference returns April 21–23, 2026, in Washington, D.C., bringing church leaders together to equip the local church to become a place of belonging for individuals and families impacted by disability, mental health, and trauma.
