Native ministry is a key component of the Alaska Conference's plan to reach those residing in our great state. If you wish to serve your community through a ministry of compassion-regardless of where you live across the state-contact Pastor Tobin Dodge.

Rediscover Your Marriage
Someone once said, "marriages may be made in heaven, but they sure take a lot of work on earth."  Retrouvaille (pronounced re*tro*vi') is a French word meaning rediscovery. If your marriage is challenging, if communication is difficult, or if you wonder whether you want to remain married, Retrouvaille is here to help.  The next program begins Jan 21, 2024. For more information, call 907-863-8000 or email: anchorage@helpourmarriage.org.

Answers
There are times when you will be asked to give a reason for your faith. And most likely you will answer the way you learned to answer to other Christians. The problem is that the person before you may not have the same theological assumptions that you have. We have to consider the other person's assumptions and not assume they're the same as yours.

AMA Annual Offering Is December 30! 
Each year the North Pacific Union Conference graciously designates an annual offering in support of Arctic Mission Adventure. AMA is a 100% donor-supported ministry serving over 200 Alaska Native villages across the state. Using a "Hands & Feet of Jesus" approach, AMA strives to enter villages, helping to meet basic needs: food, shelter, and emotional support, while sharing the Good News of salvation. This year, a generous donor has happily agreed to match donations received through December 30th up to $25,000! Please consider supporting AMA through a one-time donation or why not become a monthly supporter!? Use the QR code or the link below to donate. Thank you!
