The Real Me   
Don’t just see my legs not running;
Don’t just see my hands not writing;
Don’t just see my mouth not talking;
These broken pieces are not me.

See instead the light in my eyes;
See instead my loving soul;
See instead my thinking mind;
These inner pieces are the real me. —Joe Bishop

The purpose of Disability Ministry at Scottsdale Bible Church is to ensure that all people, regardless of abilities, have equal opportunity to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to worship God with the community of believers.

The reason for the existence of the Disability Ministry is that, although one out of every five persons in our community has a disability, few of them are involved in a church. The correlation is that few churches have either programs or physical facilities that promote equal opportunity for all to participate as fully active members, giving as well as receiving in a spiritual community. Scottsdale Bible wants to be sure that all people, regardless of their abilities, have equal opportunity to respond to Jesus’ gospel and to worship with the community of believers. When we make the gospel available to ALL people, we fulfill the divine commission. The services and resources of Disability Ministry are open to the entire community.

Whether we use the term “Disability Ministry,” “Special-Needs Ministry,” or anything else; it is our desire to value each other as well as utilize opportunities for us to serve each other.
