“It seems that many churches turn a blind-eye to [people with disabilities] (not just the adults with disabilities, but children too). I think it stems from fear of the unknown: not knowing how to interact with people who are “different,” not wanting to offend them or their loved ones by using politically incorrect language,” said Spirit Life Church spokeswoman Sarah Meisenhelter. “We believe all people can learn about God and have a relationship with him and we just want to make that available for those who want it.”
