A Little Extra Love

What A Little Extra Love does

A Little Extra Love (legally A Little Extra Love Ministries) is a private Christian disability ministry founded and led by Kyle and Rachael Vermeulen from Colorado. It operates a dual-track model: the flagship A Little Extra Love program directly serves families affected by disability through Christ-centered Bible studies for moms, dads, and siblings, community gatherings (Moms Night Out, Dads Night Out, Family Fun Days, retreats), free resources such as the Parent Advocacy Guide, and the A Little Extra Love podcast. Its second program, Inclusive Pathways, is a church consulting offering that walks church leaders through a four-step methodology (Assess, Equip, Implement, Sustain) anchored by the Church Inclusion Scorecard, producing personalized roadmaps for disability inclusion across denominations and church sizes.

The ministry does not build proprietary technology and relies on standard web infrastructure and a GoHighLevel CRM with SMS follow-up for lead capture on church inquiries. Revenue is generated through a tiered monthly partner giving program ($150, $75, and $25 per month), one-time charitable gifts, and Inclusive Pathways consulting engagements priced on a quote basis. Distribution combines in-person Colorado gatherings with a global digital footprint: podcast distribution on Apple and Spotify, organic social on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, an email newsletter, and free downloadable resources. The organization reports serving 1,400+ families in Colorado with thousands more reached online, and governance is governed by Colorado law as a nonprofit entity.

Strategically, the organization is founder-led with no institutional equity, venture, or grant funding disclosed. Competitive positioning rests on lived experience of raising a child with Down syndrome and complex medical needs, content piloted in churches and reviewed by disability specialists, and a cross-reinforcing ecosystem where engaged families feed church demand and church engagement expands the family community. Key risks include donor concentration volatility in a recurring giving model, dependence on founder bandwidth for sales and content, and the absence of disclosed financials limiting external validation of scale.

Core offering

A Little Extra Love is a Christian disability ministry that runs two complementary programs: Inclusive Pathways, a church consulting and training program that helps congregations build personalized disability inclusion roadmaps through assessment, volunteer training, and implementation support, and direct family support delivered through Bible studies for moms, dads, and siblings, community gatherings (Moms Night Out, Dads Night Out, Family Fun Days, retreats), and free advocacy resources. The organization also produces the A Little Extra Love Podcast and is funded primarily through recurring monthly donations and one-time gifts.

Product overview

A Little Extra Love operates as a dual-track Christian disability ministry comprising two named programs: Inclusive Pathways and A Little Extra Love. Inclusive Pathways is a church consulting program that helps churches build disability inclusion through personalized roadmaps, the Church Inclusion Scorecard assessment tool, and training (Assess, Equip, Implement, Sustain methodology). A Little Extra Love directly serves families through Bible studies for moms, dads, and siblings, gatherings including Moms Night Out, Dads Night Out, Family Fun Days and retreats, plus the Parent Advocacy Guide free resource. The organization also produces the A Little Extra Love Podcast. Both programs share the mission of helping families affected by disability find true belonging in the Church.

Emerging players

• Extraordinary Families: Extraordinary Families provides community, programs, and support for families of children with disabilities, including parent education and inclusion advocacy. It is a smaller, mission-aligned peer to A Little Extra Love's family-support track.

Broad incumbents

• Easterseals: Easterseals is one of the largest U.S. nonprofit disability services organizations, delivering a broad portfolio of disability, family, and community programs nationwide. It is not a direct competitor (secular, multi-service) but addresses the same families affected by disability and is a comparable scale benchmark.
• Christian Horizons: Christian Horizons is a large faith-based nonprofit providing disability services, supported living, and church inclusion resources across multiple U.S. states. It overlaps with both A Little Extra Love's family ministry and church-inclusion consulting, but operates at significantly larger scale and across a broader service portfolio.
• The Arc of the United States: The Arc is a national disability advocacy and family support organization with chapters in every U.S. state. It serves many of the same families as A Little Extra Love, though it is secular and policy-focused rather than faith-based.

Direct peers

• Joni and Friends: Joni and Friends is the most prominent U.S. Christian disability ministry, providing family retreats, disability ministry training for churches, and Wheels for the World. It directly parallels A Little Extra Love's dual focus on supporting families affected by disability and equipping churches for inclusion, and operates a comparable Inclusive Pathways-style church training program.
• Key Ministry: Key Ministry is a faith-based organization that provides church disability inclusion consulting, training, and resources to pastors, staff, and volunteers. It competes directly with the Inclusive Pathways program on church readiness content and methodology, though with a broader interfaith scope.
• Extra Special People (ESP): Extra Special People provides programs, events, and community support for individuals with disabilities and their families, including inclusive camps and family activities. It is comparable in mission and family-engagement programming to A Little Extra Love's gatherings and family-focused tracks.
• Beulah Land Ministries: Beulah Land Ministries is a faith-based nonprofit that supports families affected by disability through community programs, retreats, and church partnerships. It is closely comparable to the A Little Extra Love family-support track (Bible studies, gatherings, sibling and marriage support).
• All Belong Center for Disability and Inclusion: All Belong serves churches and faith communities with disability inclusion training, assessments, and coaching — a near-identical offering to Inclusive Pathways. The organization is a direct competitor in the church disability inclusion consulting market and shares the same target buyer (pastors and ministry leaders).
• Bridges of Faith Special Needs Ministry: Bridges of Faith supports families affected by special needs through church partnerships, training, and community resources. It overlaps directly with both A Little Extra Love's family-support programs and its church training/consulting lane.
