DID YOU
KNOW...About 2 to 4 of every 1,000 people in the
United States are "functionally deaf"? How do they
know unless they "hear"? The purpose of the Deaf
Ministry is to reach deaf and hard-of-hearing
individuals and their families for Christ. We
encourage you to come and see the exciting things we
have to offer the deaf community!
Services
Our deaf
church meets every Sunday at 10:00am in Building D
for a time of worship, dynamic preaching and small
groups. This one-of-a-kind service allows
those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing to come and be
comfortable in an environment especially tailored
for them and their worship desires.
Our church services are interpreted for the deaf and hard-of-hearing.
These services include Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. and Worship on Tuesday's at 7:22 p.m.
