Access-Life, Inc.

Who we are and What we do

Access-Life is a 501c3 Christian not for profit ministry founded by Doug and Leanne Goddard in 2010 in response to both the need they saw to connect individuals and families living with disabilities to Jesus and Christ honoring churches and the call they felt God had placed on their lives to help facilitate this "bridging of the gap" through His grace and guidance.

Doug and Leanne serve as the directors of Access-Life as they not only share the ministry vision with others and strategically plan new programs as God leads but manage the day to day operations, all with support from a board of directors and over 1,500 volunteers from across Florida, Texas and Tennessee.

Vision Statement: To see people affected by disabilities come to know and/or grow in relationship with Jesus Christ as well as others within the body of Christ.

Purpose Statement: To connect people impacted by disabilities to Jesus and Christ honoring churches, organizations, resources and people within their community.

Mission Statement: To develop and execute programs and events for people living with disabilities that share the love and gospel of Jesus Christ as well as connect them to Christ honoring churches, organization, resources and people within their community.
