Ability Tree

Ability Tree was founded in 2010 by missionaries, Joe and Jen Butler, who made it their mission to come alongside families impacted by disability to provide R.E.S.T. (Recreation, Education, Support and Training). When Joe and Jen’s son, Micah, was diagnosed with multiple disabilities, they realized the overwhelming need for support of families who are impacted by disability. Driven to make community possible and make Jesus accessible across the U.S., Ability Tree was planted.

Ability Tree Initiatives

Ability Camp: Ability Camp gives those with disability the joy, belonging and spiritual growth of summer camp. I had the privilege of serving at Ability Camp in 2023 and got to see first hand how Ability Tree is postively impacting those with disabilities. What a joy!

Resources and Training: While many people have good intentions, there’s often a lack of awareness and understanding about how to truly support and include individuals with disabilities into communities and churches.

Community Branches: Community Branches provide support, care, and disability-inclusive programming to families in their local neighborhoods. With 4 in 3 states, we're branching out to new states and locations in America.
