Keep your inboxes nice and open this spring so you can catch important updates from Disability Ministries! Soon we will be releasing information about a grant opportunity in spring/summer 2024. Check our blog for more details to come!
 
This spring and summer we will also be looking for one or two people to join our Disability Ministries advisory team. As we share information for expanding the team, we hope you will prayerfully discern a passion for this ministry and all that we do.

For information on these two opportunities, subscribe to our blog. This will be a busy year, but a great one, for Disability Ministries.
