About

See below for a link to our beliefs.

You may wonder, “Why have a church specifically for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people?” Most regular churches just do not have the ability, time, or money to focus on the needs of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing in addition to the great ministry provided by their churches. We believe that God has raised up Deaf leaders and churches to meet this great need. God Loves Deaf people too! The Deaf Culture is among the largest unreached peoples groups worldwide. Around the globe Deaf leaders and Churches are springing up.

Potomac Deaf Church is a Pentecostal Church serving the Deaf community in the Washington DC area. We have Sunday Services in Arlington, Virginia.  All of our services are in American Sign language (ASL). Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have voice interpreting for Hearing visitors. We have two Deaf Pastors and our Board of Advisers is 100% Deaf. We have services for Deaf Adults and Deaf Teens.  Hearing Children of Deaf Parents (CODA) currently join the Hearing children ministries. We are working on providing for Deaf children.

Potomac Deaf Assembly of God has been ministering in the Washington DC area, under several different names since 1982. In 1997, with the church down to only a few people, it was re-started when Pastor Scott Hobbs came. In 1998 we became a member church of the Potomac District Council of the Assemblies of God.

Potomac Deaf Church is a member of the National Deaf Culture Fellowship (NF) of the Assemblies of God.. Our beliefs are similar to both of these organizations.  A page with answers to many questions can be found here.
