Our Sunday worship services, which begin at 10:30 AM are interpreted for the deaf.
Pastor Meester teaches a deaf adult Sunday School class, 9:15 AM, also in ASL.
Heritage Church also hosts meetings of various deaf groups such as the Southeast Nebraska Coalition of the Deaf, the Friends and Families of Deaf Children, the Lincoln Association of the Deaf, as well as other groups. If your group of deaf people needs a place to meet, please call the church for information.
Our deaf ministry is made possible by a grant from Homestead Presbytery.
