AI seems to be all the buzz right now. So we had to test it out. We just asked an AI to write a letter to a church pastor telling them why they need a disability ministry. Below is what the AI wrote. How do you think it did? Dear (Pastor’s Name), I hope this […]
Many churches over the years have held special Sundays highlighting different ministry areas or community opportunities.

Because Jesus' table is accessible for everyone...
We desire to see the Church make room for all people affected by disability. To fully participate. To fully partner. To fully lead.
