Groups & Partnerships

At Keighley Parish we endeavour to work with the community around us. This means that we work alongside many different organisation to benefit the work that we do. This page highlights those partnerships and how we are working together.

Small Groups​

Currently the churches in Keighley parish run a variety of groups across the parish.

BSL-Friends Group

We meet together alternate Monday mornings for a cuppa and chat using British Sign Language – or our best attempt at it!  Some of us are brand new to BSL and Deaf Culture and some are native BSL-Users.
We aim to be a community who encourage one another by sharing stories, having a laugh together, and learning how to communicate visually.

We can’t meet at the moment but are looking for ways to stay in touch and to keep learning.  Some ways to do that are:
1000 BSL signs for Christian concepts – https://christianbsl.com/
See a BSL version of the Lord’s Prayer here: https://youtu.be/uAezzYaU754
or on Facebook, check out the group “BSL Church Worship”.
