The role of the church in supporting the disabled is to show love, compassion, and inclusion to all members of the body of Christ, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. The church can provide practical support, such as access to services and facilities, as well as emotional and spiritual support through prayer, encouragement, and community.
Scripture reference: 1 Corinthians 12:22-26 – “On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”
