SUMMARY:NBA's Research and Design: Young Adults with Disabilities Survey
DESCRIPTION:NBA’s Young Adult Leadership Development program area is undertaking a Research & Design initiative to better understand the presence and experiences of people living with disabilities within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Currently\, our denomination does not have comprehensive data that helps us understand how many people live with disabilities\, the diversity of those experiences\, or how disability intersects with age\, vocation\, geography\, and participation in church life. \nThis survey is an initial step toward addressing that gap. Our goal is to listen\, learn\, and gather information that can guide future discernment and the design of more accessible\, inclusive\, and meaningful opportunities—particularly for young adults. Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. Responses will be reviewed and used to help us understand who is present in our denomination and what kinds of barriers or supports exist. \nWe are grateful for your time and your willingness to share\, as your voice helps shape how we move forward together. \nTake the Survey \n  \nChurch Announcement Resources\n\nChurch Announcement Scripts\n\nChurch Event Script (English)\nChurch Event Script (Spanish)\nChurch Event Script (Korean)\n\n\nSlides to Accompany Church Announcement Scripts\n\nSlides (English only)\n\n\nChurch Announcement Overview Video\n\nVideo (English only)
