(Adapted from Article III of the KBCD Constitution.) KBCD has several goals. We are to carry forward the cause of Christ among deaf people and encourage a church-centered ministry (including Sunday School, Church Training, Worship and other church-related activities) among deaf people. We also encourage the exchange of ideas, plans and programs that will strengthen the work of Christ among deaf people in Kentucky, while developing reverence (honor and respect) for God, unity of faith, understanding of Baptist doctrine, Christian fellowship, and benevolence (helping deaf people with special needs) among deaf people. Our constitution states that KBCD shall accept the Holy Scriptures as the only guide for Christian teaching and practice. It also states that KBCD shall claim no authority over the local church. The mission of the Kentucky Baptist Conference of the Deaf is to encourage Kentucky Baptist deaf church members, leaders, pastors, interpreters, ministries, missions, and churches to obey and fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) through encouraging worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and missions. |
