Slowly a small congregation was formed. But what was really needed was a deaf person to minister to them. Through the grace of God, a member of the congregation, a deaf man, John Hoopmann was called to study, graduate, and be ordained to as the pastor of St. James Church of the Deaf. The name has now been changed to the Adelaide Deaf Community Church. This congregation consists of both deaf and hearing people and is ecumenical.
Visitors are always welcome.
This congregation is a small yet growing Community Church. Deaf people usually are unable to obtain top paying employment so the support that they themselves can give is limited. They need reassurance that they too have the promise of salvation. Deaf people need lots of prayer as they struggle to live in this hearing world and learn of their Lord and Saviour. Please come and experience a Deaf Service.
