At CCK we have a growing community of those with varying levels of hearing loss. They engage in various activities throughout the week and at our Sunday meetings.
Sunday Services On Sundays at the Clarendon Centre we offer BSL Communication Support at the 10.30am service. There is also a loop system available to assist hearing aid users who are unable to hear clearly. Please note we don't have BSL communication support at our Shoreham site at the moment.
Vision of CCK Deaf Creating a safe environment of acceptance regardless of age, background and levels of hearing loss. Seeking to reach our community with a message of love, forgiveness and wholeness through Jesus Christ…
What is CCK Deaf? We are a community within the wider church community, made up of people with various levels of hearing loss, and whether they sign or not. We are learning to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ and learning to do life well together!
Small Group We meet up during the week to study the bible, eat together, worship together and pray together. Just hanging out! Social Networking You can also find us on Facebook…….. follow this link to connect with us.
Mission Occasionally we put on events that help us to engage with and serve the Deaf Community in our City.
Alpha Each term, CCK holds an ‘Alpha Course’ which helps people explore the meaning of Christianity, the person of Jesus Christ, and also provides an environment to discuss the big questions of life. And the format? While everyone is enjoying a free meal, we will host a table with our deaf guests and get to know each other in the relaxed atmosphere. Then when the talk begins, the deaf BSL users will be invited to another room for a full talk given in pure BSL!
