Preface: Inclusive Names

• New church members won’t know what inclusive ministry names like THRIVE or VIP mean.
  • So consider [INCLUSIVE NAME: Disability Ministry] on website so those in need can actually find support.
  • Inclusive name ideas: THRIVE/VIP/ACCESS/BELONG/BRIDGE

Disability Intake Form = Problem/Deficit focused

Accommodations Request Form = Inclusive/Supportive

Website Structure

This highly depends on your current website structure, but ideally you should have the most important info easily accessible.

After setting up the Welcome Packet, Intake, RSVP, and **Feedback Forms** (5 minutes each), you’ll have four important links to put at the top**.**
