38. Building an Accessible Church: Sandra Peoples on Disability Ministry and Inclusion

Every child is created in the image of God and deserves a place to belong in the church. In this episode of Kids Ministry Calling, Jana Magruder sits down with Sandra Peoples to explore the vital role of disability ministry. With warmth and wisdom, Sandra shares both her personal journey and her passion for helping churches become places where every child, and every family, feels seen, supported, and embraced.

 Sandra Peoples unpacks the heart behind disability ministry, showing why inclusion isn’t optional for the church but central to living out the gospel. She shares practical strategies for communicating with families, implementing inclusion practices, and developing individualized spiritual plans that help children with disabilities grow in their faith.

The conversation highlights how a supportive church can transform not just a child’s experience but the entire family’s spiritual journey. If this conversation challenged or encouraged you, we’d love for you to rate, review, and share this episode so that more leaders can be inspired to build churches where every family belongs.
