Want to make a difference in disability ministry? Join Pastor Jonathan Trees, in partnership with Key Ministries, for a Zoom information session as he invites 100 lead pastors to pick up the mantel and join him at the 2026 Disability and the Church Conference.
Pastor Trees attended last year’s conference and noted that the creative contextualization demonstrated in the multiple presentations generated more ministry energy than he has witnessed at any conference, ever! Every pastor in their first 5 years of ministry should consider this Ted Talk and Workshop style event. Trees himself gave a QuickTake talk to discuss how and why his church, Grace Church of the Nazarene in Nashville, TN, began a Special Needs respite ministry.
While only two years into this disability ministry, the state of Tennessee gifted Tree’s church with a 25,000 dollar grant to use toward special needs ministry – A great example of the King and Cupbearer working together for the same purpose.
Trees encourages denominational district leaders to recommend pastors join the information session that includes Reverend Trees, Key Ministry leader Laura Hunter, and Greg Greer, Vice President, U.S Ministries for Joni and Friends International.
Join this important information session on January 6th at 11:00 am to 12:00 noon Eastern Time.
