Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: January 2026

The Marriage Cup is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all individuals, including people with disabilities. We believe access to information, services, and participation in our ministry should be available to everyone, regardless of physical, sensory, cognitive, or technological limitations.

​

This Accessibility Statement explains our policies, standards, practices, and ongoing efforts to provide an inclusive online experience for all users of our website and digital services.

​

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At The Marriage Cup, accessibility is not only a legal consideration but a reflection of our Christ-centered mission to serve others with dignity, respect, and care. We strive to create and maintain a website that is welcoming, usable, and inclusive for individuals of all abilities.

We are committed to:

• Providing equal access to information and services

• Reducing barriers to participation in events and programs

• Supporting users who rely on assistive technologies

• Continuously improving the accessibility of our digital platforms

• Responding promptly and respectfully to accessibility concerns

 

Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility, and we view it as an integral part of responsible digital stewardship.

​

Accessibility Standards and Guidelines

 

The Marriage Cup endeavors to conform, where reasonably practicable, to the following standards and best practices:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA

• Applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

• Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (where applicable)

• Recognized industry accessibility best practices

 

While we make good-faith efforts to meet or exceed these standards, we acknowledge that some content or features may not yet be fully compliant. We remain committed to identifying and addressing such areas in a timely and reasonable manner.

​

Accessibility Features and Website Design Practices

 

Our website is designed with accessibility in mind and may include the following features and practices:

​

Visual Accessibility

• Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds

• Readable font sizes and scalable text

• Clear layout and consistent design structure

• Avoidance of flashing or rapidly moving elements

Navigation and Interaction

• Logical navigation hierarchy

• Descriptive page titles and headings

• Keyboard navigation compatibility

• Clearly labeled buttons and form fields

Assistive Technology Compatibility

• Screen reader–friendly structure

• Alternative text for images where appropriate

• Proper use of semantic HTML

• Compatibility with commonly used assistive devices and browsers

Mobile and Responsive Design

• Layouts optimized for mobile phones and tablets

• Touch-friendly navigation elements

• Adaptive content for various screen sizes

 

We regularly review these features as part of our website maintenance and improvement process.

​

Limitations and Third‑Party Content

While we strive to ensure accessibility across our website, some content or functionality may be provided by third-party platforms, including but not limited to:

• Event registration or RSVP tools

• Embedded video or audio players

• Payment processors

• Social media integrations

• External websites linked from our pages

 

The Marriage Cup does not control the accessibility standards of third-party providers and cannot guarantee their full compliance with accessibility guidelines. However, we make reasonable efforts to work with reputable service providers and to select tools that support accessibility whenever possible.

​

Ongoing Evaluation and Improvements

Accessibility is an evolving process. We take the following steps to maintain and improve accessibility:

• Periodic website reviews and audits

• Testing with accessibility evaluation tools

• Manual review of new content prior to publication

• Training and awareness for those involved in website updates

• Incorporation of user feedback into future improvements

 

We recognize that accessibility needs may change over time and that technology continues to evolve. Accordingly, we remain committed to continuous improvement rather than one-time compliance.

Accommodations for Events and Services

For in-person and virtual events, including conferences, couple’s date nights, consultations, and other gatherings, The Marriage Cup endeavors to provide reasonable accommodations upon request, subject to availability and feasibility.

Examples may include:

• Assistance with registration processes

• Accessible seating or venue navigation guidance

• Alternative formats for written materials

• Communication assistance when feasible

 

Requests should be submitted as early as possible to allow adequate time for arrangements.

​

Feedback and Accessibility Assistance

We welcome and value feedback regarding the accessibility of our website and services. If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website, encounter barriers to participation, or require assistance, please contact us.

We will make reasonable efforts to:

• Respond promptly to accessibility inquiries

• Provide information in alternative formats where possible

• Assist users in completing registrations or accessing content

• Address reported accessibility barriers
