Meeting Us
We are individuals and families that have somehow been affected by disability who believe that all are created in God’s image and deserve a chance to express their gifts and abilities in our communities and churches.

Our Mission
We train and equip churches and their leaders in disability ministry in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

We host Through the Roof workshops that provide entry level disability ministry training.

We consult with and develop leaders and teams who implement ongoing programmatic disability ministry in their churches.

We provide opportunities for disability ministry leaders and professionals to network and learn from one another, as well as provide training on current and disability specific topics.

Our Motivation
We are motivated by the unconditional love of Jesus Christ who invites all to join and enjoy their unique place in the family of God.
