MINISTRIES
NORTH AMERICAN MISSIONS
The Alaska Yukon North American mission’s sole purpose is to start new churches in communities without current churches. From starting new works in larger cities to remote villages, we are committed to bringing God’s light into the Arctic region. Our purpose is to give the men and women of the district the training, support, and direction necessary to succeed in planting new preaching points, daughter works, and eventually full-functioning churches. We are destined to carry out the mission of Kenneth French; just one more place.

GLOBAL MISSIONS
Reaching the whole world with the whole gospel was likely the earliest cry of the modern Pentecostal church. Global Missions has become our churches' answer to engaging in Christ's global mission and impacting the world from the location of our home churches. Join your district family to help spread the gospel by becoming involved in missions today.

MEN’S MINISTRY
"Equipping men everywhere to discover their purpose, power, and place" is the motto and goal of the Alaska-Yukon Men's Ministry. It's not easy being a man in contemporary culture, which challenges the man's role and divine order. The Alaska-Yukon Men's Ministry strives to help men discover their purpose—what God has called them to be and do, and to be their best; to discover their power—the power they can have when God is working through them; to discover their place—to step up and take the lead, even in the face of social and cultural opposition.

PURPOSE INSTITUTE
With Whitehorse, Fairbanks, Sterling, and Anchorage campuses, the Alaska-Yukon District Purpose Institute provides leadership and ministerial training to those who desire to be used to further the Gospel. Our campuses' training is designed to raise the quality of ministry from every leadership level—not just those entering full-time ministry. Every believer has a God-given purpose that emerges as they apply themselves to ministry and "study to show themselves approved of God." Purpose Institute helps leaders discover and prepare for their purpose—their place in the harvest. Contact your local Pastor for information on enrolling or additional information.
