Abstract

Digital era shall be employed by the church in holistic ministry. This ministry includes reaching persons with disabilities. Like Jesus who paid attention to those who were weak (deaf, blind, lame). This study uses a qualitative study of literature. The sources used the Bible, RI Law No. 8 of 2016 on persons with disabilities, journals, books, and news websites with the theme of technology and disabilities. The research uncovered that the churches are required to identify literacy with information and communication technology to provide optimal service to persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities are then able to participate in community life self-sufficiently and be involved in all church ministry independently as well. Research Contribution: There is no preceding research that discusses the importance of ICT literacy in the churches for inclusive disability ministry. This research elucidates the importance of literacy with information and communication technology that the church requires to conduct a full service to persons with disabilities. Literacy shall be in the form of direct planting of ICT knowledge, as well as application of ICT in the range of the church.
