The Accessibility Advocacy Group helps congregations create communities where people of all abilities can fully participate in worship and congregational life. The group connects congregations with tools to evaluate accessibility through attitude, communication and physical access.
The group also shares resources from ELCA Disability Ministries and organizations such as the Center for Congregations, helping churches find practical guidance, coaching and funding opportunities to remove barriers and build more accessible, inclusive ministries.
Use this church accessibility audit to help evaluate your church’s accessibility to people who have disabilities. You’ll check up on your church’s accessibility in three primary aspects of accessible ministry: attitude, communication, and physical access (facilities/architecture). Find the audit here.
