Dismantling Barriers, One Congregation at a Time

Many churches, mosques, synagogues, and spiritual organizations want to be welcoming—but don’t know where to begin. Often, physical spaces, outdated mindsets, and unconscious biases create barriers that exclude people with disabilities from full participation.

At The Julian Way, we believe that true inclusion means more than just physical access—it requires cultural and spiritual transformation.

How We Create Lasting Change

✔ Anti-Ableism Training & Workshops – Many religious spaces unknowingly operate with harmful assumptions about disability. Our interactive training sessions help clergy, leadership teams, and congregations understand:

The historical exclusion of people with disabilities in faith spaces.

The importance of shifting from "charity" to justice and empowerment.

Practical ways to implement inclusion beyond basic compliance.

✔ Physical Accessibility Audits – We evaluate worship spaces, gathering areas, and community events to ensure they meet accessibility standards.

✔ Custom Inclusion Plans – We provide step-by-step guidance to help faith communities not only remove barriers but actively invite individuals with disabilities into leadership roles.

✔ Spiritual Inclusion Strategy – Our team helps faith communities build theology and practices that reflect the full belonging and leadership of people with disabilities.
