Last year, two of our North Carolina Conference UMCs made facility changes and completed the UM Disability Ministries accessibility audit to achieve official Silver Badge status. Silver-status churches have worked to make most areas accessible and have accommodations for people with limited vision and hearing loss. Silver status is determined by self-reporting an audit score of 85% of the Bronze and Silver items on the list.
