Bible Fellowship teachers and Care Group leaders at Calvary have additional responsibilities in this area. This course is designed to provide practical help for those who want to be more effective in their personal ministry. Qualifying your Care Group members, identifying your ministry resources, and understanding ministry to the bereaved, to the less active and to those in crisis are just some of the topics that will be discussed. This course is for those who wish to learn the basics of sign language. From the person with no experience in signing to the person who knows a little or learned to sign a long time ago, this class will build confidence in vocabulary, sentence structure, and the rudiments of interpreting.
Songs play a big part of learning the beauty of the language and adding vocabulary.
This class is for the student who has had one year of Sign Language or more and can carry on a basic conversation in Sign. Various methods will be used to learn more vocabulary, ASL expressions, fluency in signing and working toward interpreting. This may be for you. Advanced students are encouraged to attend the intermediate class to build further vocabulary and confidence. Then, during the Sunday evening service, students will observe and practice interpreting in a low-profile area of the church.
