How can congregations move beyond awareness toward genuine belonging for neurodiverse people in worship, learning, and community life?
In this webinar, the team from Big Faith Resources explores why neuro-affirming worship practices matter and how they can be implemented in various congregational settings. Drawing from theology, lived experience, and practical ministry tools, they’ll guide you in equipping your church to more fully welcome neurodiverse children and their families.
Together, we’ll examine how faith communities can grow in both understanding and practice —cultivating spaces that affirm and include people with a wide range of neurological differences. This webinar connects emerging understandings of neurodiversity with accessible ministry strategies, helping churches create environments where every person’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and engaging is honored in the congregational life.

What is Big Faith Resources?
Big Faith Resources began in 2024 when Westminster Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, received a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to establish the organization, which aims to bridge a gap by providing accessible resources and tools to churches addressing the inclusivity of neurodiverse children and their families in corporate worship, faith formation, and spiritual practices. Big Faith Resources assists congregations in providing a space where all children can experience God’s love without hindrance. For more information, please visit www.bigfaithresources.com.
This webinar is one way that Presbyterian Outlook funds our ministry of being a prophetic, pastoral and independent publication focused on creating trustworthy resources and spaces for conversation. Thank you for your support.
