"...The Work Of Our Hands Upon Us..."

Psalm 90:17

Welcome to the Deaf Ministry at Detroit Hope Center! We are a part of an amazing, blended community of both Deaf, HoH, and Hearing apostolic people, seeking to serve Jesus together in unity. Our desire is to love and encourage each other (and the CODA’s in our midst) through the unique experiences as Deaf and/or Hard of Hearing people, as brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Deaf/HoH Fellowship

At Detroit Hope Center, we believe in fellowship and having fun! That includes our Deaf and HoH family too! Join us for one of our fellowship nights where we have food, games, and lots of laughs. We have a great time at every fellowship. Everyone is welcome! Bring a friend and let's have a great time! We can't wait to see you there!
