Deaf Ministries

Our commitment to sharing the Good News with and advocating for deaf and hard of hearing people is strong. Learn more about Deaf Culture.

Deaf Churches

Christ Deaf Church and Magothy Deaf Church are culturally Deaf - meaning everything is done from the perspective of Deaf Culture and is in American Sign Language. Both churches provide voice interpreters for persons who do not know sign language.
