Becoming an Anchor Church for a DeafChurch within a Diocese or Deanery
The Deaf Community is recognized as one of the least reached people groups in the world. Deaf Churches are rarely, if ever, self-sustaining financially although tithing is taught and encouraged. As a national movement, DeafChurch Together is supported primarily through a network of Anchor Churches for sustainability within each region.
What is an ANCHOR CHURCH?
Because of the scattered nature of the Deaf Community, the DeafChurch is a single parish with many home and community congregations over a region. The deacon or priest responsible for leading the regional parish (comprised of smaller groups) would travel the circuit to visit these congregations and offer larger eucharistic worship. In each local area, the Anchor Church becomes the harbor for drawing together the scattered Deaf community in that area.
What does this movement need from Anchor Churches?
PRAYER for reaching Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people in your community.
PROVIDE space on for Deaf worship, fellowship, training, and service projects.
PLACE this ministry in the mission budget of the church.
Be a POINT of connection for home/community-based worshiping groups in your area.
