Program

Support for Churches

Equip your church to welcome every family and disciple every member, whatever their abilities.

We help churches become places where children, young people and adults with disabilities, and their parent carers, can truly belong, grow and serve.

Church inclusion support

Turning Compassion Into Action

Because every church can become a place where every person belongs and flourishes. We equip churches to welcome and disciple people with disabilities and walk well with their families through practical inclusion and biblical foundations.

While our faith shapes everything we do, OAKonsult is not faith-restrictive. We partner with churches of every tradition and size across the UK and Nigeria, and we also deliver online.

Inclusive Training
