Disability Ministries of the WPAUMC believes all people, including those with disabilities, are created in God’s image and have sacred worth. We believe that it is vital to the body of Christ to celebrate the spiritual gifts of people with disabilities and incorporate them into the life of the church. Through advocacy, education, and empowerment, we strive to fully include people with disabilities in worship, missions, leadership, and ministry—throughout Western Pennsylvania and the UMC. The proceeds of this offering will go to the Accessibility Grant Fund. Every penny of this fund goes back into our churches to assist with updating and improving the accessibility of their churches and parsonages within the Conference. The collection will be held September 7th.
