Abstract
What does it really mean for people with disabilities and their families to truly belong within their faith community? This review article addresses ten dimensions of belonging and their salience to the inclusion of people with intellectual disability, autism, and other developmental disabilities. In each area, I review available research and highlight implications for churches, ministry leaders, and congregation members. This framework is intended to spur new thinking about the ways in which churches might welcome and weave people with disabilities more fully into the relationships and activities that comprise life together in a community of faith.
