Ark Encounter

An Unforgettable Weekend of Fellowship and Diving Deeper into Your Identity in Christ

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

What does it truly mean to be a new creation in Christ? How does a transformed identity in him reshape our lives and purpose?

In a world filled with noise about who we are and what defines us, Deaf Days 2026 will offer clarity, encouragement, and truth. Join us as we explore God’s design for your identity and discover how to share that truth with confidence—both in your heart and within your community.

What to expect:

  • Inspiring sessions with Deaf presenters and leaders
  • Powerful Deaf-led worship
  • Special programs for Deaf-Blind guests
  • Children’s activities and family-friendly fun
  • ASL interpretation at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum
  • Fellowship and spiritual encouragement
  • And much more!

Come be encouraged and equipped.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Friday, April 17 at the Ark Encounter

Saturday, April 18, at the Creation Museum
