Christian Vision and Hearing Services (CVHS), a ministry of Adventist Media, is hosting two free seminars this month aimed at helping churches better understand hearing loss and create more inclusive worship environments.
The seminars, titled Hearing Loss and Assistive Listening for Churches, will be presented by Graham Weir, a member of the General Conference Adventist Possibility Ministries Taskforce for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
According to CVHS coordinator Cassie Etwell, the events are designed to raise awareness of a challenge that often goes unnoticed within congregations.
“At Christian Vision and Hearing Services, we’re committed to helping churches become places where everyone can participate fully and feel connected,” she said.
“These seminars are designed to raise awareness of hearing loss, share practical support strategies and introduce assistive listening technology that can make church life more accessible and inclusive.”
Attendees will also have the opportunity to experience demonstrations of the latest assistive listening technology and learn about new developments that may benefit their local church.
