What With Ministries does

With Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Dallas, Texas, that equips churches to build inclusive environments for people of all abilities, particularly individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The organization was formed in 2023 through the merger of Friendship Ministries (a 40-year resource developer) and the Church Division of All Belong Center for Inclusive Education. With Ministries serves pastors, church staff, ministry leaders, and families impacted by disability, addressing the stated problem that 1 in 2 families affected by disability leave their church due to lack of inclusion. The organization reports having equipped 300+ churches and impacted 3,000+ individuals.

With Ministries' core products are organized around three pillars. First, the Together Curriculum — an inclusive adult Bible study subscription ($35/month) built on Universal Design for Learning principles, delivered through on-demand video, discussion guides, and two participation tracks (Track A for adults with intellectual disabilities, Track B for varied abilities). Second, Belonging Online — a free digital framework that helps churches evaluate and improve website accessibility and digital inclusion. Third, Friendship Groups — small-group communities with a $60 starter kit — supported by books, the Accessible KidMin Kit ($74.99), and a Research Bundle from Dr. Erik Carter. The platform is a service-and-content organization rather than a technology company, leveraging standard e-commerce and video delivery infrastructure rather than proprietary AI/ML systems.

With Ministries operates a hybrid revenue model combining earned income and contributed revenue. Earned streams include: monthly curriculum subscriptions, one-time resource sales (kits, books), event tickets for the annual Worship As One Summit ($115-165), and branded merchandise. Contributed revenue comes from individual donations and a $300,000 two-year Lilly Endowment grant awarded in October 2023 as part of the Nurturing Children Through Worship and Prayer Initiative. Distribution is multi-channel: direct e-commerce, event ticketing, self-serve digital subscriptions, and direct church partnerships for training and coaching. The organization holds ECFA accreditation and a GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency, is governed by an independent Board of Directors, and selected for the 2026 Praxis Nonprofit Accelerator.
