The Gathering


Our vision is to meet as Native and Non-native people in our area to learn together how to worship God and witness for Jesus Christ in culturally appropriate ways.  

The "Gathering" will be relationally oriented—it will focus on true fellowship with God and each other.

Our Gatherings will emphasize the centrality of Jesus Christ and His Word but also celebrate expressions of faith in Him which are distinctly Native in structure, style, and philosophy. This means that we will share a meal, utilize native music/worship, pray, tell stories and learn and use languages.

Although we don't have a special program for children, they are welcome to participate.

Pray for us as we seek the Lord for wisdom and direction to put this into practice. Our Gatherings are the second Wednesday evening of every other month and begin at 6 P.M.

"Healing the Land"

The mission of Inuit Ministry International is to present every freedom available by salvation, deliverance and healing in the Lord, Jesus Christ. We believe that God, the Creator, endowed the First Nations People with significant gifts and responsibilities as stewards of the land, providing broad avenues for the Holy Spirit to bring revival to the nations. We actively seek to evangelize, encourage, and challenge them to receive Christ and become servants to His word. Where First Nations culture and practice honors God, I.M.I. endorses and encourages its growth. Where the culture and practice forsake God and promotes its own spiritual agenda, I.M.I. remains faithful to God's Word.
