FRIENDSHIP MINISTRIES
TOGETHER is the most recent series of Bible study curriculum developed by Friendship Ministries. For more than 35 years, Friendship has helped empower churches and organizations around the world to share God’s love with people who have intellectual disability, by providing resources and curricula that celebrate the gifts of all God’s people, and that nurture faith formation, belonging, and community. Our ministry is international, inter-denominational, and designed to enable all people, regardless of ability or disability, to become active members of God’s family.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
1. Everyone is created in God’s image and deserving of love and justice, both in our society and in our churches. People who have intellectual disability must have the opportunity to know and experience God’s love.
2. Redemption is a free gift to all. It does not depend on a certain level of intelligence.

3. The church is complete only when it includes all of God’s children, and
when all people are seen as equals in God’s eyes and our own.
