Disability affects individuals, of course, but it also shapes the entire family. One group that’s often overlooked?
Siblings.
From children growing up alongside a brother or sister with a disability, to adults who step into caregiving roles for their sibling later in life, siblings face unique joys and challenges.
How can the church be a place of belonging and support for them? How can children’s, youth, and adult ministry leaders come alongside siblings to create environments where they are:
-
Seen and valued
-
Encouraged and cared for
-
Supported as they navigate both family and faith roles
-
Given space to flourish in their own identity and calling
This roundtable will spark honest conversation and practical ideas for equipping churches to love siblings well—reminding them that they are not invisible, but indispensable in God’s family.
