Who We Are
Last Frontier Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian organization. We are a parachurch organization, which means that we partner with different Christian churches and denominations to accomplish a common goal: reaching the people of Alaska with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Since 2008, Last Frontier Ministries has been dedicated to sharing the Gospel, discipling believers, and serving communities throughout Alaska—from our local community to some of the most remote villages in the state.
Last Frontier Ministries was formed in 2008 by two families: Rob and Ticee Graham, along with Sam and Chris Kimmel.
THREE AREAS OF MINISTRY
What we do
Local Ministry
The first area is Local Ministry, where we invest in the community surrounding our campus and build relationships with the seasonal workers who come to the Denali area each year.
Discipleship Training School
The second area is our Discipleship Training School, where students spend five months growing in their relationship with God through biblical teaching, discipleship, and outreach.
Village Ministry
The third area is Village Ministry, where we serve Alaska’s remote villages year-round by sharing the Gospel, discipling believers, and meeting practical needs.
Together, these three areas create a pathway for people to encounter Christ, be discipled, and ultimately serve others.
local ministry
We believe that wherever a mission organization is based, it should first pour into the community around it. Our campus is located just outside Denali National Park, where thousands of seasonal workers come each summer to work for Princess Tours, Holland America, and other local businesses.
Through prayer and recognizing the lifestyle many of these workers experience, we began constructing an outdoor pavilion with a large rock fireplace connected to a small coffee shop.
The purpose of these spaces is to provide a welcoming environment where seasonal workers can enjoy affordable food and coffee, build relationships with our staff, and encounter the love of Jesus Christ.
DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL
Last Frontier Ministries has partnered with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) to operate a five-month Discipleship Training School.
During the first three months, students receive biblical teaching on subjects such as hearing God’s voice, the character and nature of God, the Father’s heart, the Cross and the Covenant, spiritual warfare, relationships, and evangelism.
The final two months are dedicated to outreach ministry, with much of that time spent serving in Alaska’s villages. Students put into practice everything they have learned while ministering alongside our team.
Our desire is that students develop a passion for Alaska Native communities and become long-term missionaries serving throughout Alaska.
