Kinghan Church
Located on Botanic Avenue in Belfast, Kinghan Church is a worshipping community of deaf and hearing-impaired people. Services are held every Sunday at 11am and tea and coffee is served from 10.30am.
The church also offers:
- Support for individuals and families,
- Interpretation at events
- Specialist assistance to Presbyterian ministers working with the deaf community.
The Kinghan Mission was founded in 1857 by John Kinghan, a teacher in the Ulster Society for the Promotion of the Education of the Deaf, the Dumb and the Blind, Belfast. Around 1898/1899, the church moved from Bethel on Sandy Row to a new site on Botanic Avenue.
The focal point of the new centre is the ground-floor church, which has been specially designed to meet the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing people. The spacious recreation hall on the first floor is used by various groups both within and outside of the church.
The United Appeal assists with the funding of the Council for Social Witness, enabling the Council to support the work and Christian witness offered at Kinghan Church.
