♿ All Abilities Specialization
Equipping Leaders to Minister to People of Every Ability with Dignity and Grace
The All Abilities Specialization is designed for clergy who are called to serve, disciple, and include individuals with physical, developmental, cognitive, or neurological differences in the full life of the church. This specialization empowers ministers, chaplains, and officiants to build inclusive, Gospel-centered communities where everyone is seen as a valuable image-bearer of God.
Too often, individuals with disabilities or neurodiversity are marginalized or underserved in ministry. This specialization changes that reality—training you to lead with understanding, compassion, and biblical conviction.
💬 Why It Matters
Jesus consistently ministered to those society often ignored—welcoming the blind, the lame, the outcast, and the overlooked. In the same spirit, this specialization affirms that the Church must be a place of belonging for all people, regardless of ability.
By equipping you to lead inclusive ministries, this specialization helps dismantle barriers and fosters spiritual growth, fellowship, and participation for every person. It reflects the heart of the Gospel: all are welcome, and all are needed.
🧰 What You’ll Learn
To receive this specialization, you must complete your core clergy credential and maintain a 2.0 GPA, along with these three targeted courses:
Multiplying Christian Leaders – Helps you develop inclusive ministry teams and empower leaders with diverse abilities.
Disability Smart – Provides practical and theological insights into serving individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities in church and community settings.
Discipling Neurodiverse Children – Equips you to minister effectively to children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental differences through thoughtful discipleship strategies.
