Churches, organizations, clergy, and laity are not equipped to facilitate the spiritual formation of those with mental impairments. Currently, very few resources establish a spiritual formation plan with a focus on promoting a reciprocal and equal relationships with adults who have cognitive disabilities. The people of God have an opportunity to connect those with intellectual disabilities in a relationship with both God and others in the community of faith. How then does a person with an intellectual disability fit into an Evangelical culture of faith? For the Body of Christ to develop, the people of God should engage relationships with people who have cognitive disabilities. The universal church needs the resources to reach, journey alongside, and grow to maturity together with individuals who have intellectual disabilities. This spiritual formation guide will provide the needed resources for the church to include, minister to, and receive from people with intellectual disabilities.
