Our first Community Branch and state of the art R.E.S.T. Center!
Joe and Jen Butler, founders of Ability Tree, were college students studying pastoral ministry when their son Micah was diagnosed with developmental disabilities. During that time they began to discover the deep needs of support and rest for families impacted by disability. After pastoring for five years, they and felt compelled to be a part of the solution, and in 2010, they founded Ability Tree to realize that mission.
The Butlers moved to Arkansas in 2011 and launched the first Ability Tree Community Branch in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Through faithfully serving families in the area, the outreach grew, and in
2019, through generous donations, founders Joe and Jen Butler built Ability Tree's state of the art R.E.S.T. Center. Ability Tree Arkansas is deeply connected in the Northwest Arkansas community and continues to serve the families of children and adults impacted by disability with weekly and monthly programing.
In line with the heart and vision of founders, Joe and Jen, more Community Branches with R.E.S.T. Centers are being developed across the United States!
