I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at the 2026 Disability & The Church Conference, hosted by Key Ministry in Washington, D.C., April 21–23, 2026. This annual gathering is one of the most impactful events for pastors, ministry leaders, mental health and care teams, volunteers, and disability advocates who want to build churches where every individual, especially those touched by disability, mental health challenges, or trauma, is welcomed, valued, and equipped to thrive.
Whether you’ve attended before or this will be your first time, Disability & The Church is not just another conference, it’s a movement of faithful leaders committed to deepening our understanding and practical care for all God’s people. You’ll leave inspired, equipped, and empowered with tools you can begin implementing in your ministry right away.
