The Christian Reformed Church wrote about our Community Conversation that took place in Grand Rapids, MI with over 100 attendees.

The Baptist Standard covered our event, Disability & Church: Building a culture of belonging that took place on September 17th.

Pastor Jimmy Dorrell discovered that even a church that prioritizes ministry to the marginalized can improve its ability to make people with disabilities feel more accepted and included. Dorrell recently participated in a workshop offered by the Baylor Center for Developmental Disabilities, in which church leaders were asked to evaluate how their congregations help people with mental and physical disabilities feel they “belong.”

On Wednesday, April 17, the BCDD, in collaboration with the Baylor Collaborative on Faith and Disability, hosted Disability & Church: A Conversation. Baptist Standard covered the event.

As we celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in March, Baylor Baseball featured the BCDD community members with disabilities and their families at the game on March 17.
