Inclusive education affirms that every learner, including those with disabilities, has the right to equal learning opportunities in an environment that embraces diversity. In this context, the church plays a strategic role as a faith community that not only provides spiritual ministry but also shapes a social culture that influences how society understands human dignity. This article critically examines the church’s role in inclusive education using a literature review approach. The study integrates theological, pedagogical, psychological, and social perspectives to assess the church’s potential in building a welcoming, participatory, and stigma-free environment for everyone, particularly people with disabilities. The findings indicate that the church can contribute through advocacy for congregational education, pastoral accompaniment, strengthening collaboration with schools, and providing spaces for equal participation. However, theology remains exclusive. Therefore, the church needs to move from an approach based on charity toward participatory justice in order to truly become a community that supports inclusive education in a tangible and sustainable way.
