Church Relations

Joni and Friends' Church Relations department equips, trains, and mobilizes the church to reach out and embrace people affected by disability. Through a wide array of training programs, information resources and disability ministry tools our Church Relations team stands ready to help congregations become sensitive to the needs of people with disabilities and their families. Let us help your church reflect the love of God through making the Gospel of Jesus Christ truly accessible to all.
