Deaf Ministry
Welcoming the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and all who use or are learning ASL to grow in faith and community together.
Welcome
There’s a place for you.
At Cornerstone Ministries, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience God’s love, grow in their faith, and connect in community—regardless of hearing ability. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome you to V.I.P. – Visually Inspired People, our Deaf and Hard of Hearing ministry.
V.I.P. is a vibrant, Christ-centered community for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and hearing individuals who use or are learning American Sign Language (ASL). Whether you’ve been signing for years or are just beginning your journey, you are welcome here. We are honored to provide an inclusive environment where people can worship, grow in God’s Word, and serve together—all in a language that speaks to the heart.
We can’t wait to meet you!
Blessings,
Barbara Bossler
