DEC

Deaf Encountering Christ (DEC) is a three-day Christian retreat designed by Deaf people for Deaf people. Although each DEC is unique, the theme of the weekend is a journey: Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ is coming again.

DEC is like a crossroads where you can make new decisions about your life. During your time there, you will be able to take time to look at things you call important in your life and look at it from God’s point of view. Not only is DEC about faith, it is also about having fun and getting to know people from all across the country.

This retreat is for Deaf/hard of hearing people who communicate mainly through American Sign Language, since the entire retreat is conducted in ASL by the staff. Come and experience DEC for yourself!
