LifeLine, Inc. — which provides support and resources to families with a member living with a chronic or temporary medical, educational, physical or emotional disability — will hold the Accessible Gospel special needs ministry conference Sept. 27–28 at Concord Baptist Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The conference will feature Stephanie Hubach, an author and mother to a young adult with down syndrome; and Lori Sealy, who has struggled with atheism and lives with autism; as well as many other speakers leading breakout sessions, including Andrew Piper from Huntsville who has a sibling living with a disability.
The conference will contain five tracks:
Special needs ministry 101 — designed for those new to special needs ministry.
Special needs ministry 201 — designed for those who have been involved in special needs ministry for five years or more and are looking to grow their ministry.
Counseling and behavior — designed to help participants understand what could be behind behaviors causing difficulties in being part of a church environment. New understanding should foster compassion and grace and a display of the unconditional love of Christ.
For pastors — designed to equip pastors as they seek to understand more about those in their congregations with disabilities.
For families — designed for families, caregivers and those in the church who may be walking alongside those with disabilities and their families.
