Various estimates of between 92% and 98% have been used to describe the percentages of Deaf people who are unchurched in the USA. ( Estimates are assumed to be even higher in countries where deafness is socially and religiously stigmatized) Barriers of communication, education, employment and income are challenges that all societies face when trying to include Deaf persons. These barriers exist within the Church, with some exceptions, as Deaf people often experience church as inaccessible in communication and misunderstanding of Deaf people’s abilities and experience. Deaf people are also called by God to witness, to serve, and to lead, yet often find the Church ill-equipped to respond to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
