Deaf Ministry and Leadership Cohort
Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies:
Deaf Ministry & Leadership Cohort
This program is designed to maximize learning opportunities and the building of Christ-centered relationships by having a cohort of deaf and hard of hearing students proceed through the program together. The traditional two-year program is spread over three years to allow for an appropriate pacing. Any student who prefers to follow the traditional two-year schedule is welcomed to do so and take the Deaf Ministry and Leadership classes as they are available.

Southeastern Bible College in conjunction with Deaf Youth Ministies (DYM), DTY, and National Network of Youth Ministries (NNYM) is sponsoring the upcoming Deaf Youth Ministries National Conventionin November.
This annual gathering of those involved in ministry with deaf and hard of hearing teenagers is sponsored by Deaf Youth Ministries and is the “cutting-edge” of Deaf teen ministry. It is an awesome time of celebration of all God is doing across the country and denominational spectrum. For those who love Jesus and love Deaf teens, it is an incredible experience of fellowship, worship, learning, sharing, and networking.
