Intellectual Disabilities in Faith Communities

from Indispensable People · host Tracie Corll

Send us Fan MailWhen we speak about the church, we often leave out our brothers and sisters living with intellectual disabilities. With a staggering 85% of them feeling left out of our church communities, we are compelled to ask: Are we truly being accommodating and inclusive?  We embark on a journey to understand intellectual disabilities better, to debunk common misconceptions, and to highlight the importance of making our faith communities all-inclusive.We are reminded that God knows His people. This life-changing encounter opened our eyes to the power of inclusive worship and the resilience of faith amid disability. We may not have all the answers, but this conversation surely emphasizes our duty to present everyone with the opportunity to experience God's love and grace.
