A video giving testimony to a gospel-based vision of corporate worship that includes all people

As witnessed in the video, including persons with a variety of abilities in your worshiping community involves a combination of ‘Universal Design/Responsive Design’ as well as the conviction that corporate worship involves the full, conscious, active participation of all worshipers, as a fully intergenerational community.

Universal design for worship help create worship that touches all our senses and is accessible to all worshipers. Responsive design is a process that provides options for including specific persons with an identified disability into full participation in worship, the congregation, and its activities.

This video was created in partnership with CLC Network.
