Winnipeg Church of the Deaf was started in 1918 and was a gathering of Deaf worshipers from many different denominations and started as a Bible study group. Services were added sometime later.

In 1962 it had hired its first Minister who was with the United Church of Canada. Funding then came from the United Church, Anglican Church, Mennonite, Presbyterian Church, Lutheran Church and the Salvation Army. Over the years it has had Ministers from an Anglican, Lutheran and two others from the United Church. Funding has since been reduced to United Church and Anglican only.

Our regular services are interpreted for our 45 Deaf worshipers in American Sign Language (ASL). We host workshops regularly on Deaf culture for hearing groups who are involved with the United Church on various levels.
