True church hospitality begins with accessibility.
For someone who uses a wheelchair, a senior with low vision, or a parent of a child with sensory processing sensitivities, deciding whether to visit a new church is an anxious process. They need to know before Sunday morning: *Is there street-level wheelchair access? Where are the accessible parking spaces? Does the sanctuary have assistive listening systems? Are service dogs welcomed?* When a church website has illegible light gray text on white backgrounds, menus that cannot be navigated with a keyboard, and zero information about physical building accessibility, families with disabilities assume they are not expected or accommodated.
"If a church website doesn't tell us where the accessible entrance is, we won't take the risk of driving across town on Sunday."
⚠️ Common Weekly Friction
- • Low contrast text that makes reading service times difficult for seniors.
- • Navigation menus that trap keyboard and screen-reader users.
- • Missing information about physical ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms.
- • No details about sensory accommodations or assistive listening devices.
