Pathways to Belonging: Creating Inclusive Ministry Environments for All Ages

An Irresistible Church is an authentic community built on the hope of Christ that compels people affected by disability to fully belong. Church leaders with a heart to serve families affected by disability frequently ask, "How do I know the best way to include each special friend when their needs vary?" This book is a response to that question, offering step-by-step tools for evaluating the needs of friends with disabilities and creating a culture that welcomes these individuals and their families. Within these pages, we discuss creating accessible environments that provide access to the Gospel while being sensitive to learning styles and physical needs. The Irresistible Church movement seeks to build relationships rather than programs. By creating inclusive environments churches help individuals affected by disability discover and practice the gifts God has given them while fostering a culture of authentic relationships.
