DEAFCHURCH TOGETHER

“DEAFCHURCH TOGETHER” is an online liturgical expression of the Christian faith in the Anglican tradition.  The Rev. Dr. Bob Ayres is the founding pastor of this church, which is a mission of Servants of Christ Anglican Church in Gainesville, Florida.

Fr. Bob and Kathy Ayres have been involved in Deaf ministry since the middle 1980’s and in 2000, established Deaf Teen Quest (DTQ), now a national ministry model for Youth For Christ USA.  They have six adult children who came to them through adoption (two of whom are Deaf) and 12 delightful grandchildren!

Fr. Bob has published two books on Deaf ministry including DEAFCHURCH 21: Vision for a New Generation.  In May 2020, Fr. Bob launched an online weekly liturgical service in American Sign Language.  God has stirred up a vision in Fr. Bob’s heart for establishing a regional Deaf Liturgical Church movement based on the model of multiple sites as part of a single parish.  CTK is an Anchor Church in this movement to help establish in-person community in addition to the online worship. 

The mission of Grace Community Food Pantry is to assist in feeding Flagler County’s less fortunate until they are able to feed themselves. In partnership with Flagler County School District they work together to provide nourishment and reduce food insecurity in Flagler County. This is a Christian based ministry supported cross-denominationally and through various community organizations, governmental agencies, local businesses, and an ever-increasing number of individual supporters, volunteers and contributors.

TRINITY ANGLICAN SEMINARY

Trinity Anglican Seminary is an evangelical seminary in the Anglican tradition. In this fractured world, we desire to be a global center for Christian formation, producing outstanding leaders who can plant, renew, and grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ. To this end we are forming Christian leaders for mission.

We welcome students and faculty who long for a Church that is evangelical in faith, catholic in order, and Spirit-driven in mission. We stand in the great Anglican Evangelical tradition that is rooted in the primacy of the scriptures and the doctrine of salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and which is foundationally expressed in the classic Book of Common Prayer. We are committed to serving the Church by preparing men and women to be leaders for its mission. We hold high standards of excellence in teaching and scholarship, believing that these will further both personal maturity and practical effectiveness in mission. We value the deep formation in Christian ministry that is possible in the residential degree programs of the school. We believe that the discipleship of the whole person is essential preparation for ministry and commit to foster in all our seminarians spiritual and emotional maturity, integrity, grace and holiness of life. We are committed to building a life-long community of learning among our graduates and other Christian leaders aimed at constantly improving their knowledge and ability as servants of Jesus Christ and His Church. We believe that “money follows ministry,” and therefore are accountable to our partners in ministry for careful stewardship of God’s money. We prayerfully rely on God’s provision and the generosity of His people in providing quality theological education at a reasonable cost for this and future generations. 

Fr. David, Deacon Barb and Mother Lang are all alumni of Trinity School for Ministry.
