Deaf-Led Church Marks 30 Years of Inclusive Worship in South Africa
Story 2
The Bible Baptist Church of the Deaf is marking 30 years since its establishment as a Deaf-led congregation where services are conducted entirely in South African Sign Language.
Founded in 1996, the church has grown from a small ministry into a wider community network focused on worship, education and support for Deaf congregants across parts of South Africa and neighbouring countries.
Its services are led by Deaf members, with an emphasis on accessibility and full participation in church life through sign language communication.
The milestone comes as South Africa also marks 30 years of its Constitution, highlighting broader themes of inclusion and recognition of diversity.
