Key Ring Resource Binder

For an in-depth look at starting a disability-inclusive ministry at your church, you’ll find purposeful information that can serve as a helpful foundation in the Key Ring Binder by Key Ministry. As your church begins to pursue disability inclusion, we pray that your church will remain trusting and open to God’s guidance and leadership. For more specific areas of education in growing inclusion ministries, see Key Ministry’s “The Workbench” and “Special Events”.
