Our Values

It is vital to build authentic connections that can grow into a  supportive Christ-centered community where hearing and Deaf people love each other and value their similarities and differences.    

 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”      John 13:35

Everything we do starts with Jesus. He is the creator and sustainer of all. He is our motivation and source.         

“In Him we live and move and find our being. For we are his offspring.” Acts 17: 28

 Dedicated to respecting Deaf People as a cultural language minority and acknowledging each person as the best narrator of his/her own story. We will also esteem sign languages as equal in value to spoken languages yet distinctive and separate. 

“The gift of language is not just God giving us words that make sense; it is God giving himself through The Word. God inhabits the tabernacle of language and meets us there. Language, then, is a gift from the missional heart of a loving God who wants to be known.“  Language: the gift of God’s presence By Dawn Kruger         

 “And the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory”    John 1:14

Being a good steward means being intentional and purposeful to make a difference in the world.  We commit to generously sharing our time, talents, hospitality and resources to honor God.       

 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of god’s grace in its various forms.”     1 Peter 4:10.
