Every person deserves
a place to fully belong.

The Problem

Families are quietly leaving faith communities.

Not because they have lost their faith. Because the church was never designed to fully include them.

Over 67% of adults with disabilities say they want to participate in a faith community. The barrier is not their disability. It is a building without a ramp, a children's ministry with no trained volunteers, and a culture that communicates, even without words, that some people belong more than others.

Now there is a national certification standard for church disability inclusion. A clear roadmap. A recognized credential. A way for families to know, before they walk through the door, that they will be genuinely welcomed.

From Families & Churches

What genuine inclusion changes.

"We had been to seven churches before this one. Every time, someone would smile and tell us they 'welcomed everyone,' and then we'd find out our son had nowhere to go during the service. For the first time, I cried because I felt included, not because I didn't."

Maria T.

Parent of a child with autism · Dayton, OH

"I've been a pastor for 22 years and I never had a roadmap for this. The assessment helped us see gaps we genuinely didn't know existed. Our congregation is more fully the Church than we were before."

Pastor Robert K.

Senior Pastor · Non-Denominational Church

"I'm autistic and I've spent my adult life trying to find a church where I didn't have to mask to belong. The language on the CACC-certified church's website told me something was different before I even walked in. It was."
