Learn the Deaf way…
Deaf people are not like hearing people. How? Hearing people learn through a spoken language. Deaf people learn through a visual language. Principles of learning are the same, but the language of communication and instruction is not. Bible Baptist Church of the Deaf meets this need.
Our church is different from a “hearing” church in that all services are in Sign Language: the language of the Deaf. A Deaf church is simply a church that uses Sign Language as its language of communication; much the same as a Xhosa church, a Korean church, or any other church. Going to a Deaf church is different in that everything learned is through the Eyes instead of the Ears.
Bible Baptist Church of the Deaf was established in 1996 and through our outreach many people have been led to faith in Christ.
Why a Deaf Church?
Jesus said, “Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations…” Matthew 28:19
The word “nations” means “tribe or people group.” Because God created all languages (Genesis 11), He wants all language groups to know the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A Deaf church is simply a church that reaches the people group that uses Sign Language. If Sign Language is your method of communication, then a Deaf church is for YOU!
A Biblical Approach
Most church outreach to the Deaf depends upon hearing interpreters to interpret the sermon from a spoken language to a visual language. This can be helpful, but is not the best means for the Deaf to learn. In any setting, the best learning takes place when the language of teaching is the same used by the students who look to their instructors as role models. Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations. We are to establish churches for those disciples, not “ministries.” Therefore, the Deaf church is the Biblical approach to reaching the Deaf community.
