Welcome to the

Rocky Mountain Conference

of the United Church of Christ

Conference Inclusion Team

The Conference Inclusion Team (CIT) is a coalition of RMC clergy and lay leaders whose primary effort is to help guide and encourage local churches in the RMC to explore the possibility of the creation and adoption of an Accessible to All (A2A) Covenant.  The goal of the CIT is help RMC churches become truly accessible for all and welcoming to all. To learn more about the A2A process, liturgies for Access Sunday, and disability etiquette and other resources, please check out the links and resources listed below. We also encourage you to learn more about the work of the CIT by reading this recent blog post.

Interested in getting involved with the CIT? Please contact the current chair of the CIT: kevin.pettit@comcast.net
