About DVC

DVC is an Evangelical ministry to the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing. We are not part of a particular denomination. We are not a church. We are a support organization that works with many different Christian churches throughout North America.

Mission Statement

DVC’s mission statement is to:

• Evangelize the Deaf through clear Christian teaching

• Encourage Spiritual growth in the Deaf community

• Provide resources for pastors and missionaries to the Deaf

Ministries

DVC’s ministry has three main parts:

Video Production

DVC produces Christian teaching materials, sermons, Bible studies, children’s programs, and more. Some of our videos begin as programs for the hearing, and DVC adds captioning or a sign language interpreter. Most of our videos are produced natively in American Sign Language (ASL) and feature Deaf pastors, missionaries, or lay leaders.

Video Lending Library

We make our videos available free-of-charge to the Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and their families, friends, schools and churches through the DVC Lending Library. DVC even mails videos to the Deaf in prisons.

DVC Conference Center

DVC also hosts a small number of conferences each year for pastors to the Deaf and lay leaders in Deaf churches.

Support

Funding for our ministry comes from individuals and churches who believe in our vision and want to reach the Deaf and Hard of Hearing for Christ. We also receive some support for particular projects from foundation grants.
