Manage episode 518164549 series 3516263
We trace why churches are exempt from the ADA but called to a higher standard, then lay out practical steps for safe, welcoming ministry that serves people of all abilities. We share policy baselines, seizure and behavior plans, medication boundaries, and how to build social and spiritual access.
• ADA exemption contrasted with a call to excellence
• Physical, social, and spiritual accessibility defined
• Insurance consultation and state-specific checks

• Seizure preparedness and individualized action plans
• Identifying on-site medical professionals and roles
• Behavioral safety plan for self/other harm risks
• Medication boundaries and emergency exceptions
