Effective Date: 08/19/2025

Heart Revival Ministries (“HRM,” “we,” or “us”) is committed to making our website—**www.heartrevivalministries.com**—accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to comply with recognized guidelines such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

1. Accessibility Features We’ve Implemented

• Semantic HTML & Headings

  • Structural HTML (H1–H6) is used correctly across pages—e.g., “Services,” “About Us,” “Elijah House Training,” etc.—to enhance navigation by screen readers. Heart Revival Ministries+2Heart Revival Ministries+2

• Descriptive Link Text

  • Buttons like “Read More,” “Register,” and “Call Us” are clearly labeled, avoiding vague terms such as “click here.” Heart Revival Ministries+1

• Accessible Forms

  • Contact and registration forms include meaningful labels (e.g., “Name,” “Email,” “Prayer Request”) with clear error prompts.

• Color Contrast & Readable Text

  • Text and link colors contrast adequately against backgrounds to ensure readability—especially for navigation menus and body content.

• Alt Text for Images

  • All images—including ministry photos or headshots of Ron, Sherry, Linda Hill, Kristy Salas, etc.—include descriptive alt text. Heart Revival Ministries+3Heart Revival Ministries+3Heart Revival Ministries+3

• Logical Focus Order

  • Keyboard users can navigate menus, links, and forms in a logical and intuitive sequence.

• Accessible Events & Service Listings

  • Events like Elijah House training (e.g., 201 and 202 classes) are clearly presented with proper table or list structures, making them accessible to assistive technologies. Heart Revival Ministries

• Readable Product & Program Descriptions

  • Services like Marriage Ministry, Healing the Hearts of Our Children, and Elijah House Training are structured with headings and bullet lists for clarity. Heart Revival Ministries+1

2. Ongoing Staff Efforts

• Periodic Accessibility Audits

  • We conduct regular checks (e.g., using automated scanners and manual testing) to ensure continued accessibility compliance.

• Using Accessibility Plugins

  • We plan to include accessible navigation tools (like “skip to content”) and ARIA landmarks to improve page navigation for assistive technology users.

• Image Descriptions

  • Alt text for all new images (including ministry team, course thumbnails, and hero graphics) is crafted to describe context meaningfully (e.g., “Group of participants in Elijah House Training,” “Ron & Sherry Torbert smiling in garden”).

3. Areas We Are Improving

• Video Captions & Transcripts

  • While some teaching videos (e.g., Passion for Purpose classes) are embedded, we aim to add captions and/or transcripts to support users with hearing impairments.

• Enhanced Focus Indicators

  • We’re working to strengthen keyboard focus styles—such as outlines on buttons/links—especially in hero sections and menu items.

• ARIA Enhancements

  • For dynamic components like event pop-ups or registration forms, we’re adding ARIA roles to communicate status changes clearly.

4. Accessibility Goals & Feedback
