Miami Valley Baptist Church for the Deaf

About this church

Miami Valley Baptist Church for the Deaf is a Dayton-area congregation built around worship and Christian formation in American Sign Language. Its official history describes decades of cooperation among Southern Baptist Deaf ministries, interpreters, Deaf leaders, and hearing churches in the Miami Valley. The church welcomes Deaf, hard-of-hearing, DeafBlind, and hearing people, with an emphasis on knowing Jesus and growing in faith through accessible communication.

Sunday worship begins at 11:00 a.m. The services page lists men’s and women’s Deaf Bible studies at 9:45 a.m. and children’s Sunday School at 11:00, while the children’s ministry page says children’s church meets at 11:15; families should ask how those overlapping programs work for their child. Wednesday Bible study begins at 6:30 p.m. All services and events are conducted in ASL, with voice interpretation for beginning ASL students. Hearing visitors and students are explicitly welcome, and members can assist with communication during a visit. A separate women’s study meets on the first Tuesday, but the official schedule does not state a fixed hour. The events page is useful for dated gatherings beyond the recurring weekly schedule.
