Developed in partnership with people living with disability, Our Place’s Belonging Workshops are face-to-face workshops run in churches and aimed at helping churches become places of belonging for people living with disability. Our aim is to help churches to support people with disability to become active and participating members of their church communities.

Each workshop is comprised of teaching content, small group discussions, and practical tips to help your church ensure that people with disability can be:

• Safe and known
• Connected and growing
• Celebrated and loved
• Blessing and being blessed

Participants receive a printed and digital copy of a workbook, as well as additional practical resources to help in implementing the workshop content.

Our workshops are run by specialists in disability theology and ministry and people with a lived experience of disability. They run for 3.5 hours on a Saturday or Sunday (afternoon).

Our Belonging workshop aims at giving churches a biblical foundation for creating disability inclusive churches. The workshop will help your church better understand what disability is, the barriers that exist that prevent people with disability being able to participate, and what you can do to remove those barriers and become a disability inclusive community.
