Sacred Access helps churches move from good intentions to structural accessibility — for neurodivergent and disabled members who deserve to belong fully.
"Accessibility is not optional. It is discipleship."
Sacred AccessHow we structure our spaces is a theological statement about who belongs.
Structure creates safety. Systems build belonging. Neurodivergence is not a spiritual deficit.
Good intentions are a starting point. Real change requires honest assessment and practical action.
Neurodivergent and disabled members are leaving — or never arriving — not because churches don't care, but because caring hasn't been translated into structure.
A ramp that wasn't built to code. A "sensory room" that sits unused. An accommodations policy that never made it past the leadership meeting. Accessibility stalls not because of lack of heart — but because of lack of systems.
"We want to be more inclusive but we don't know where to start."
Common feedback from church leaders"We've tried, but nothing seems to stick after the initial effort."
Common feedback from church leaders"We have members whose needs we're not meeting, and it weighs on us."
Common feedback from church leadersEvery offering is designed to move your congregation from intention to implementation — at a pace and scope that fits your community.
A dedicated working session with your leadership team — half-day or full-day — that produces a clear, prioritized roadmap your church can act on. Not a lecture. Collaborative, hands-on strategy work built around your specific congregation.
A focused 90-minute consultation to identify your most pressing accessibility gaps and leave with personalized, written recommendations.
A 75-minute tailored training session for your leadership or volunteer team, customized to your church's specific context and gaps.
Three 60-minute strategy sessions at biweekly or monthly pacing — sustained support as you build out your accessibility practices.
Sacred Access was founded by Carah Gordon — an AuDHD Christian who spent years in church spaces that didn't quite fit, noticing a persistent disconnect between what faith communities claimed to believe about belonging and how they were actually structured.
"Friction isn't faith. The disconnect I experienced wasn't incidental — it was structural."
Sacred Access exists because the church has both the theological call and the practical capacity to do better. What it often lacks is a clear starting point, honest assessment, and someone to help leadership get aligned around the work. That's what Sacred Access provides.
This work is personal, practical, and conviction-driven. It is both pastoral and structural — because those are the same thing.
The first three churches to work with Sacred Access receive a 25% discount on any consulting engagement in exchange for a detailed written testimonial. This rate is limited and will not be extended beyond the founding cohort.
