Worship As One: Accessibility Summit for Leaders– Learn More

WITH MINISTRIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PRESENTS

Equipping Leaders for Accessible Church Ministry

Reimagining Worship with Everyone in the Room

AUGUST 21, 2025

Too often, families impacted by disability find the church to be the least welcoming place they enter all week. In fact, 1 in 3 families of people with disabilities have left a church due to a lack of support or accessibility—not because they don’t love God, but because they couldn’t find a place where they truly belonged.

Not because they don’t want to know God. But because churches often aren’t built with them in mind—physically, spiritually, or culturally.

Worship As One is a one-day summit for pastors, church staff, and ministry leaders who want to change that.

Hosted by With Ministries, and grounded in years of research-based, theologically sound work in partnership with Baylor University’s Collaborative on Faith and Disability, this summit is built for real church leaders navigating real ministry challenges. With Ministries has worked with churches of all sizes and across denominations to help them move from good intentions to transformative action.

But this isn’t just a summit.

You’ll share a meal, worship, and learn alongside people with disabilities. You’ll encounter the richness of accessible ministry in real time—not just through theory or presentations.

This is a gathering rooted in research, shaped by theology, and brought to life by the people the church too often overlooks.

Together, we’ll explore:

What scripture really says about disability and belonging
Practical, actionable steps to create accessible worship environments
Real-life stories from leaders doing the work
How to shift culture, not just start programs
What it means to worship as one—in body, in spirit, in truth

You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to come open.

Let’s build churches where all can Worship As One.

We are excited to welcome pastoral staff and church ministry leaders for this gathering. If you are not on a church staff but want future information about With Ministries equipping opportunities, click here to sign up for our newsletter.
