Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to inform and educate the church of the needs of people with disabilities. There is information given as to what the church can do to assist and understand the needs of the people, the requirements of the Law and the moral obligations as Christian disciples. Through a questionnaire, the author has compiled statistics for an overall view of what some churches are doing to accommodating these people. This thesis will also give Biblical and theological perspectives as the foundation for the research.
