Why the Church Needs Members with Disabilities
Description
The church should be a place that welcomes adults with disabilities—but true discipleship goes far beyond making space. In this episode, Scott and Whitney sit down with Mosaic Director Joe Clary and Travelers Rest Mosaic Lead Cece Ambrose to discuss how we are helping adults with disabilities grow as disciples of Jesus through worship, biblical community, service, employment, and meaningful relationships. They share stories of lives being transformed and discuss how adults with disabilities are far more than recipients of ministry—they are indispensable members of the body of Christ with unique gifts to offer.
Key Points
- Adults with disabilities are capable of growing in their faith, serving the church, and using their gifts just like every other believer.
- Our church needs members with disabilities because Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12 that the “parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.”
- Walking alongside adults with disabilities deepens the faith of other believers who witness their perseverance, joy, dependence on God, and eternal perspective.
