Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Who should attend a Disability & the Church Tour Stop?
Tour Stops are designed for pastors, church staff, ministry leaders, volunteers, Christian school educators, and family members who want practical training to welcome and disciple individuals impacted by disability, mental health, and trauma. Whether you’re just beginning a disability ministry or looking to strengthen an existing one, you’ll find encouragement and tools you can apply right away.
Q2: What's included with my registration?
Your registration includes access to the full conference day with worship, main sessions, and breakout workshops, along with event materials and lunch. Optional Thursday afternoon ministry intensives and combo tickets are available separately for those who want a deeper, hands-on training experience.
