We provide many services to Deaf people and those using American Sign Language through our ministry for the Deaf. Our regular offerings include:

  • Deaf Community Worship (with communion): 3rd Sunday of every month

  • Deaf movie day and discussion: 3rd Sunday of every month following worship


    These events are led and coordinated by Karen Miller, a deaf person and certified lay leader, and Patti Collett Ravilious, a certified lay leader.


Through the Deaf Ministry we also:
