Key Ministry Information

Key Ministry promotes meaningful connection between churches and families of kids with disabilities for the purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ. We serve a unique role in connecting churches with families of children with “hidden disabilities”… mental illness, trauma and developmental disabilities. We embrace our role as leaders among like-minded individuals, organizations and congregations in the movement to welcome and include persons with disabilities and their families in the life of the local church. Vision Families of children with disabilities would be represented in the church proportionate to their presence in the general population. Values Christ-centeredness. We seek to be driven by the mind and spirit of Jesus Christ as revealed through the Word of God and guided by the Holy Spirit. We champion the local church. Christ established the local church as his representation and reflection in the world. It is through the church that God takes people with different personalities and gifts, unifies them as a single body, and equips them to care for each other and reach the world. Family-based ministry. We believe parents bear the primary responsibility for guiding the spiritual development of their children. The role of the local church is to come alongside the family for the journey, providing resources, encouragement, and support. Ministry that is relational, redemptive, restorative, and inclusive. Everyone has gifts and talents intended for the benefit of the Body of Christ as represented by the local church. The entire church misses out if any Christ-follower is excluded. Generosity. God’s grace is given freely. Money shouldn’t be an impediment to ministry. Innovation. To reach families no one else is reaching, churches will need to try new strategies and approaches no one else is trying. Collaboration. Scripture clearly teaches that no individual or church has all been given all the gifts required to be sufficient.
