Disability is not a flaw in God’s design—it’s a reflection of His image that the Church cannot afford to overlook. Too often, people with disabilities are seen as exceptions instead of essential. But Scripture reminds us: every person, regardless of ability, bears the image of God. ⁠
⁠
Inclusion is more than just ramps and access. It’s about belonging. It’s about seeing, celebrating, and empowering every member of the body of Christ.⁠⁠ Let’s build churches that reflect God’s heart for inclusion—where everyone is seen, valued, and given the opportunity to grow, serve, and thrive.⁠
