Ability and Beyond is a community initiative of LifeHouse Church for people with disabilities.

Our ministry, events and programs serve those with disabilities, learning differences, and developmental disorders, and their families. 
 
We desire to play a part in helping each person with a disability reach their greatest potential and live life to the full. We also believe that everyone is created with passions, gifts and talents — and for purposes that will bring joy and enrichment to those around them.
 
The coordinator, Keren Bayley, is a mum of 3 young people, one of whom has a complex mix of non-verbal Autism L3, and physical and intellectual challenges. Keren has a passion for people and years of experience in advocacy, supporting families to thrive not just survive, and hosting programs and events that build skills, wellbeing and community.
 
Our beautiful volunteers bring a wealth of lived experience and love into all our programs and events — knowing that in these spaces, things rarely go to plan… Anything can happen, at any time — and probably will! But whatever happens, we face it together.
 
This is community. This is Ability… and Beyond!
