Our Story
​
Since 2018, our mission has been guided by the Holy Spirit to make accessible faith formation possible for all souls in your care. We strive to make physical, intellectual, emotional, and relational access available in Churches and Private Schools. We work to ensure belonging and recognition of dignity by equipping Clergy, Staff, and Volunteers to serve in a way that works for all those who attend church, reaching even those who don't yet attend.
​
We equip and empower Clergy, Staff, and Volunteers to serve people with Disabilities and Mental Health Needs effectively in Churches and Private Schools. Our mission is to ensure those with Disabilities and Mental Health Needs have complete access to faith formation and experience belonging in their faith community.
​
Our founder felt an overwhelming call from the Holy Spirit to start Witness to Dignity out of a passion for both accessibility and faith. There were so many spaces prioritizing accessibility for people with disabilities and mental health needs, yet churches and private schools were too far behind what seemed possible. Understanding that many faith spaces yearn to be more accessible but lack money, time, and resources - Witness to Dignity works to provide the training and resources needed for Churches and Private Schools to be primary places for people to find access and belonging.
