In 2028, we’re planning a year-long celebration of our first quarter-century of ministry. Our team has been seeking to discern what the future holds for disability ministry between now and the specific role we’re being called to fill between now and then. We have unprecedented opportunities - but if we’re to pursue the plans God seems to have for us, our ministry will need very different levels of staff support and resources than we’ve relied upon in the past. Here’s a look at what we think the next few years have in store for us and the disability ministry movement.
Mental Health, Medicine and Ministry - October 10, 2023
Romantic chatbots are being developed offering suggestive selfies, sexually explicit (and apparently, realistic) conversations, and the ability to design a virtual girlfriend’s personality who is judgment-free, encourages users to spend more time with male friends and laughs at all of your jokes. What will the impact be on our ability to engage in authentic relationships that potentially lead to marriage? Or the impacts upon self-image for those unable to live up to the images in brains scarred by pornography?
Call for Speakers for Disability and the Church 2024
The opportunity to apply to speak is open to any and all mature Christians with important or innovative thoughts or ideas to help grow or advance the disability ministry movement. We encourage leaders doing important work in relative obscurity lacking the connections or platforms to make their work better known throughout the church to apply.
Courage in Pursuit of Our Callings

Reflections on 20 years of Key Ministry
Christmas Eve 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Key Ministry. In honor of the occasion, I thought I’d share a few reflections on where our ministry has been over the last twenty years, some thoughts about where our organization and the disability ministry movement, in general, may be impactful in the next twenty years, along with some stuff I’ve learned along the way serving as part of the ministry’s leadership team.
