This Manual for Congregations from Bethesda Lutheran Homes and Services is an 80-page resource for congregations planning the development of disability ministries.

The construction-theme manual contains chapters on developing a vision, recruiting leadership and volunteers, community evangelism/marketing, teacher training and a “toolbox” of assessments, evaluations forms and other helpful items.
