WITH Ministries Selected for the 2026 Praxis Nonprofit Accelerator, Joining a Global Community of Redemptive Ventures

Dallas, TX — November 20, 2025 — WITH Ministries is proud to announce its acceptance into the 2026 Praxis Nonprofit Accelerator, a highly selective program that equips redemptive ventures with world-class mentorship, strategic guidance, and a global community of leaders committed to shaping culture for good. Praxis publicly announced its 2026 cohorts this week, naming WITH as one of the organizations advancing innovative solutions for belonging, accessibility, and the flourishing of every person in faith communities.

Through this year-long program, WITH Ministries will gain access to coaching, leadership development, philanthropic partners, and formative practices designed to strengthen organizational capacity and multiply long-term impact. The Accelerator supports nonprofits who are building mission-driven, spiritually grounded, and culturally restorative solutions to some of society’s most pressing challenges.

“We are deeply honored to join the 2026 Praxis Nonprofit Accelerator,” said Rebecca Wall, Executive Director of WITH Ministries. “This opportunity could not have come at a more pivotal moment for our mission. Praxis gives us the tools, mentorship, and community we need to build sustainable systems, expand our reach, and support even more churches in becoming places of true belonging for people of all abilities.”

Praxis also expressed excitement about WITH’s selection.

“WITH Ministries is doing critical and innovative work at the intersection of theology, accessibility, and community transformation,” said Sara Miller, Partner, Non-Profit Portfolio at Praxis. “Their commitment to creating spaces where every person can participate fully is exactly the kind of redemptive imagination we look for in our Accelerator fellows. We’re thrilled to support their growth in 2026.”

WITH’s inclusion in this year’s cohort marks an important milestone for the organization, which continues to equip churches across the nation through training, consulting, digital resources, and its forthcoming With Church online learning platform. Through the Accelerator, WITH will focus on strengthening its operational foundation, deepening its partnerships, and expanding the tools it provides to faith communities seeking to embody belonging.

All Together Leader’s Guides come with two variations – Track A and Track B. Here’s a quick description of each so you can see what the best fit is for your small group:

Track A:

For the leader of a Friendship Group –a group made up of adults with intellectual disabilities, for whom material is prepared. There are adults without intellectual disabilities partnering to facilitate learning. Activities, printouts and other materials are very visual, simple, and offer non-verbal response and participation options.

Track B:

For a group made up of people with varied abilities all participating in the decisions for the group’s experience. Activities, printouts and other materials may have more words and intellectually challenging components, though options (and tips!) are still offered.
