Is your church ready to truly welcome every family? With autism diagnoses more common than ever, many congregations feel unprepared to support individuals with autism and their loved ones. This essential guide bridges the gap between good intentions and practical, compassionate action.

Written from the dual perspective of a pastor and a parent, Julie A. Pratt combines deep personal experience with decades of ministry leadership. She doesn’t just offer theory—she provides real-world solutions for creating a culture where everyone belongs, from building sensory- friendly spaces to training volunteers with confidence.

Autism in the Church will equip you to see neurodiversity through the lens of God's image, rethink what engagement and worship can look like, and support families beyond Sunday morning. Each chapter includes reflection questions to help your team apply these truths directly to your community.

Move your church from mere accommodation to joyful inclusion. This book is your compassionate, practical roadmap to becoming a place where individuals with autism are not just present, but known, discipled, and celebrated as vital parts of the body of Christ.
