KEY MINISTRY HISTORY
We find ourselves uniquely called and positioned to serve churches.
Since 2002, we’ve provided knowledge, innovation, and experience to the worldwide church as it ministers to and with families of kids with disabilities.
Our ministry was founded to help churches minister to families of children with hidden disabilities. We find ourselves uniquely called and positioned to serve churches seeking to become more intentional and effective in ministry with children, teens and adults impacted by mental illness, trauma, and developmental disabilities and their families.
Find a Welcoming Church Near You
Discover churches offering disability ministry in your city and state.
Use the map below to explore churches that have identified themselves as welcoming and supportive of individuals and families impacted by disability. You can filter by state and city to find churches near you.
Please note: Each church on this map has submitted its own information indicating a commitment to inclusion. While Key Ministry celebrates these efforts, we have not conducted a full review or vetting of each ministry. We encourage you to reach out directly to learn more about the specific supports each church provides.
ARE YOU A CHURCH LEADER?
Join our network of churches committed to serving individuals and families impacted by disability.
We define a “welcoming” church as one that intentionally seeks to include and disciple children, teens, and adults impacted by disability, mental health, and trauma.
This could include providing accessible spaces, adaptive programming, buddy systems, sensory supports, respite events, or simply having a heart posture that says, “You belong here.”
If your church is actively working to create a culture of accessibility and gospel-centered belonging, we invite you to submit your information to be included on the map.
Note: Submissions are reviewed for completeness and clarity, but Key Ministry does not conduct an in-depth vetting process. Inclusion on the map reflects your church’s commitment to welcome and serve, not an endorsement of theology or ministry practices.

3 Myths in the Church About Mental Health
In high school, I suffered from anxiety that most teenagers suffer from: how I would do on tests, if a boy liked me, or what my teachers and peers thought about my character. However, as I grew into young adulthood, this mild anxiety developed into a paralyzing...

OUR CORE VALUES
The values we strive to reflect in our ministry are:
Christ-centeredness
We seek to be driven by the mind and spirit of Jesus Christ as revealed through the Word of God and guided by the Holy Spirit.
Commitment to Biblical Truth
We uphold theological accuracy, ensuring that all our teachings and practices are firmly rooted in Scripture and align with sound Christian doctrine.
We champion the local church.
Christ established the local church as his representation and reflection in the world. It is through the church that God takes people with different personalities and gifts, unifies them as a single body, and equips them to care for each other and reach the world.
Family-based ministry
We believe parents bear the primary responsibility for guiding the spiritual development of their children. The role of the local church is to come alongside the family for the journey, providing resources, encouragement, and support.
Ministry that is relational, redemptive, restorative, and inclusive
Everyone has gifts and talents intended for the benefit of the Body of Christ as represented by the local church. The entire church misses out if any Christ-follower is excluded.
Generosity
God’s grace is given freely. Money shouldn’t be an impediment to ministry.
Innovation
To reach families no one else is reaching, churches will need to try new strategies and approaches no one else is trying.
Collaboration
Scripture clearly teaches that no individual or church has all been given all of the gifts required to be sufficient. Christ’s intent in the design of the church is for us to depend upon one another.
Affirming everyone’s ministry gifts
Ministry is not the exclusive privilege of paid professionals. The task of fulfilling the Great Commission is the responsibility of all believers.
