Congregational Leadership
Palms Deaf Church (PDC) focuses on empowering the Deaf community in Florida into leadership positions and recognizing the gifts that God gave each person to build a better community. The church also looks for ways in which they can better serve the community and show the love of God in their actions. The foundation of all they do is to look for a leader who has a relationship with God, pays attention, is observant, prays, has an open mind and heart, gets involved, and empowers others.
What is Worship?
Palms Deaf Church worships both in-person and online to recognize and thank God, as well as to provide an opportunity for connection within the community, and it is a way to show respect, love, and trust in God and each other, and to grow in how God uses us within God’s plan and celebrate all that God has done.
Sermons and Messages
Palms Deaf Church uses messages and sermons to help people learn more about God, themselves, and others and to inspire faith into action with and on behalf of God. They use this time together to consider questions about the story, its importance, and the steps God wants them to take next, and they learn from different perspectives on how to support one another within the community by exploring the Bible and the purpose and journey.
