Core Values |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We value:
-
the fact that every person is important to God.
-
the Deaf as a "people group."
-
the unique cultures and communication preferences that are represented
in the Deaf Community
-
reaching each Deaf and hearing person with the gospel of Jesus Christ
-
the fact that all Christians are called to share their faith.
-
the Bible as the authoritative, infallible, inerrant Word of God; it is
our final authority in all matters of faith and life.
