Antioch Deaf Evangelism Ministries is a vibrant and passionate church ministry dedicated to reaching the deaf community with the powerful message of the Gospel. With a heart for serving and ministering to those who are deaf or hard of hearing, our mission is to share the love of Christ and provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where all can worship and grow in their faith. Through engaging worship services, meaningful Bible studies, and outreach initiatives, we seek to empower deaf individuals to encounter God, experience His transformative power, and live out their purpose in boldly proclaiming the Good News. Join us as we seek to bridge the gap between the hearing and deaf cultures and impact lives for eternity.
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the infallible Word of God as well as the authority for salvation and Christian living (II Timothy 3:15-17)
THE ONENESS OF GOD
There is one God who has revealed Himself as our Father through His Son, Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16).
SIN AND SALVATION
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23-25, 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
THE GOSPEL
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus dies for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance, (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).
CHRISTIAN LIVING
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the Church today (Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10).
THE FUTURE
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgement. The righteous will inherit eternal life and the unrighteous, eternal death (I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15).
