| At Southeast SDA Church we have a very active Deaf Ministry Department. This department utilizes the skills of deaf and hearing members to glorify God. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost." II Corinthians 4:3. It is our prayer that no one is lost, and that includes our deaf brothers and sisters. It is for this reason that we teach sign language to our members as well as to those in the community. We offer sign language classes at the beginners, intermediate and advance level. Our current class, which is held on Wednesday evening has 18 students. Our Deaf Ministry also has a sign choir, Hands-In-Ministry (H.I.M.). This is a choir that exists for the purpose of knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known to others. Our choir is a family. The music that we select has deep meaning to us. It reflects our commitment to the Lord and hopefully it gives inspiration to those who watch us sign. We are a 15-member choir who are at its best when Sister Betty Craft, one of our deaf members, joins us. We are often invited to fellowship with other churches in the community and most recently we have been on programs at Lee Memorial A.M.E. Church, Mt. Gillion Baptist Church, Affinity Baptist Church, Holy Trinity Baptist Church and Progressive Baptist Church.
