Step I:  Preparation

A.   Gain approval and support from the key leadership (persons and/or groups) in your congregation.  (Use the Quick Checklist to help stimulate discussion on accessibility.)

B.   Rally support for your efforts as you announce your intentions to the congregation.

C.   Assign the study process to an existing committee or group or form an Accessibility Study Team ("Study Team") specifically for the process. 

D.   Review the entire process so that the Study Team becomes totally familiar with it and owns it.
