Deaf and Hard of Hearing Ministry at Rising Star Baptist Church

Welcome to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Ministry!

At Rising Star Baptist Church, we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can fully participate in worship and fellowship. Our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Ministry, led by Denise TrimbleSmith, ensures that members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community can experience the love of Christ in meaningful ways.

 

Key Features of Our Ministry:

Interpreted Sunday Services: Join us every Sunday at 10 AM (Arizona Mountain Time) for our worship service. An ASL Interpreter is provided.
 
Reserved Seating Section: The D/HH Community is invited to sit anywhere in the sanctuary where they feel most comfortable. Additionally, we have reserved seating near the front, closest to the interpreters, for those who wish to have a clearer view.
 
Accessible Livestreams: For those unable to attend in person, our services are livestreamed with the interpreter prominently displayed. You can view the livestream on our church website (www.risingstarbaptist.org) or through our Facebook and YouTube channels: @RisingStarTucson.
 
Deaf Ministry Purpose: Our purpose is to provide the Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing & Sign Language Community with barrier free Christian experiences, growth in their spiritual journey with Christ, and to be active Faithful Stewards and Disciples for the local & global D/DB/HH/SL Community.
