You will find a warm, caring congregation which exists, as our mission statement says, to love His people for who they are and encourage them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
All of our Bible studies, worship services and activities are done in American Sign Language ASL Communications. Voice interpreting is provided for hearing members and visitors. It is our mission to bring families together not in the hearing culture, not in the Deaf culture--but in the Christian culture. We believe that there is just one disability in the world. That is the spiritual deafness to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We hope you will come and visit us.
