This site is designed and maintained by the UCC DM web team to help members and friends of the UCC explore what it means for our churches (and our hearts) to be “accessible to all” (A2A Study Guide).

Some resources here are available to download. You can check on new developments or read about our 25+ year history of advocacy within our denomination and the wider world.

OR - you can tell a story, ask a question, respond to something already posted. We are aware that the work of creating accessibility in our buildings, in our programs and in our hearts is not easy. Our UCC DM believes that by building community and sharing our many varied gifts we make this work a little easier and less lonely!

For guidance in our journey towards full accessibility we turn to these words received by an early Christian Community in 1 Peter 4.8-11a (RSV):

Above all hold unfailing your love for one another. . . . Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another. As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”

• Why A2A? The mission of the United Church of Christ is to be Multiracial, Multicultural, Open and Affirming, and Accessible to All - A Church where everyone is welcome.
