Accessibility

ELCA Disability Ministries: Every person with a disability has a right to be a member of a congregation and to serve in some capacity. Part of what it means to be inclusive involves physical accessibility of your worship space. The ELCA Accessibility Guide provides tips on what to look for if you want your meeting to be fully accessible to all people.

Also featured in this section is a list of consultants available for help with making your worship space more accessible.
