Our Heart
Accessible Ministry
Our work is deeply rooted in a profound belief that every individual, fearfully and wonderfully made, deserves full access to spiritual community and growth. We understand that many in our communities may be seeking a ministry where they truly feel seen and fully able to participate, yet often encounter unintentional obstacles in digital, worship, or physical spaces.
This is where J & R comes in. As a specialized accessibility consultancy, we blend our passion for ministry with our expertise in accessibility to partner with churches and ministries. Through our
