Do you know of a Christian church which should be included?  It doesn't have to have a web site; you can submit their name and city, if nothing else. Please tell me! Other people may want to visit.

The ministry Joni and Friends has a long list of churches that submit their names to be included, listing their ministries to people with various disabilities and the accommodations that they have available. http://www.joniandfriends.org/disability_ministries.php
