Houston's First Deaf Church

About this church

Houston's First Deaf Church in Houston is a congregation built around Deaf and hard-of-hearing worshipers and their families, with American Sign Language and Deaf culture at the center of services. The Sunday schedule begins with fellowship at 9:30 a.m., then a discussion group at 10 a.m. that revisits the previous message. Worship runs from 11 a.m. to noon. Voice interpreting for family members who do not sign is offered sometimes, but the site says it is not always guaranteed. The church was previously known as Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church and describes its beliefs as in agreement with the Southern Baptist faith.

Children under eight are dismissed to the children's wing during the service, though families are encouraged to worship together if they prefer. After worship the church shares a simple lunch, such as pizza, and visitors may also step out for lunch and return. A Bible study follows at 2 p.m. on Sundays, and a member-led Bible study meets on Zoom on Tuesdays at 1 p.m.; the Zoom link is available by contacting the church. The membership includes Deaf, hard-of-hearing, hearing, and children of Deaf adults, and members are encouraged to learn ASL. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
