Subject: 1 in 5 families are waiting for an invitation.

Looking down on a row of church pews with a lot of people sitting in them or next to them in wheelchairs.

Join us in celebrating the recent commissioning of Rev. Tracie & Duane Corll as fully-appointed AGUSM Missionaries! Here are just a few of their upcoming goals as they move to the next step in ministry:

Lead: Preparing for God’s "more than we can imagine" plans with STM.
Connect: Honoring the indispensable value of those with disabilities.
Mission: To Seek, Save, and Send every believer into service.
Equip: Empowering the local church through life-changing programs.

Pray for the Corlls as they step into this assignment. If you feel led to partner with them financially or through prayer, now is the time to reach out!

Ministry isn't just about who is in the pews...

it's about who is still waiting at the door.

The Reality:

Over 15% of our communities are impacted by disability.
1 in 5 families are affected.

The Barrier:

It’s often not a flight of stairs that keeps people away; it’s the feeling that there isn’t a place at the table specifically for them.
They aren’t just looking for a ramp—they are looking for a church home.

The Call:

"Go out... and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full." — Luke 14:23

This isn't just an invitation; it's a mandate to ensure the Body of Christ isn't missing any of its members.

Why It Matters:

From Isolation... To Community through a DFC Gathering.
From Sidelined... To Discipleship via Bible Study, tailored teaching, and skits.
From Overlooked... To Celebrated with talent shows, art projects, and more!
