Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association Church Training with Joni and Friends
February 9, 2026 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
In Cleveland County, more than 20% of people live with some kind of disability. Yet many of these people have not yet found a welcoming church home. This is why Joni and Friends North Carolina and the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association invite you—church leaders, volunteers, and community members—to discover how to become a place of hope, dignity, and belonging for people living with disabilities.
Join us for an engaging evening (the first in a two-part series) that will help you minister to people living with disability as you:
- Consider God’s heart for people living with disability
- Reflect on your mission and those in your community living with disability
- Look for barriers people living with disability face that keep them from participating in your church mission
- Create a plan that will help remove barriers so families navigating disability can fully participate in your church
Please register to attend this event by February 9th.
NOTE: The second training will occur in April.
