...building an international network of Church Interpreters to bring Christ to deaf and hard-of-hearing people.

Welcome to the CITI homepage! Check here for the latest information on our summer sign-language training program for Church Interpreting, as well as special weekend topical seminars.

It's that time again! CITI is gearing up for another terrific summer.

Students of CITI 2009 can anticipate classes in:

• Religious Signing
• Interpreting Scriptures, Gospels and Sermons
• Music/Hymns
• Bible Study

Experience Interpreting During Daily Worship Services
Students will have the unique opportunity to pair classroom training with actual “hands-on” interpreting in a Lutheran liturgical worship context. (To learn about our chapel and worship click here.) CITI understands that some students will come from churches that use a more free, non-liturgical worship; however, we believe that students from all backgrounds will be enriched by the experience gained interpreting in the inspiring setting that the seminary provides.

CITI is an experience that is hard to describe. The time for personal growth in the Word, life-long friendships to be made, and most importantly, learning to share the Gospel with the Deaf. Come and join us, experience it for yourself!
