Alaska

Alaska offers opportunity to serve Christ in a beautiful and unique area of our nation. Mission teams serve in a variety of ways, including children’s ministry, camp ministry, block parties, facility renovation, and more.

Overview

Known as the Last Frontier, our 49th state is alive with adventure – rough, rugged, and beautiful. Alaska is populated by hardy, independent folk. The opportunity for sharing Christ and furthering His Kingdom here is wide open. The majority of Alaskan Baptist congregations are small in number. Many are located in isolated areas. Things we take for granted in our churches are simply not available to many of theirs. Our participation in missions in Alaska provides needed resources, leadership, and possibly most importantly, – encouragement. Be in prayer about this exciting Partnership and your participation in it.
