History of AICM
The American Indian Christian Mission was founded in 1969 out of concern for the spiritual needs of Native American people. At that time, Vacation Bible Schools were held on the Navajo and Hopi reservations in the state of Arizona. The Lord continued to open the doors for the ministry. Land was purchased near Show Low and a boarding school for Indian children was started in 1985.
Hundreds of Navajo and Apache children have attended the American Indian Christian School since its start in 1985. Children will spend the school year at the mission, going home every weekend. Students in 3rd - 6th grade spend their time studying, praying and playing in our school and dorms, which are located just west of Show Low.
Throughout the year, the Apache Christian Connection team goes out in the afternoons each week, taking the Gospel to many communities on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The Vacation Bible School programs that were started at the beginning of AICM’s ministry continue today through the ACC program. Many volunteers come each year to assist our staff in conducting these programs. Through the Apache Christian Connection, hundreds of children are receiving God’s word on a consistent basis each week.
Summer Enrichment Camp programs have been held at the facilities of the American Indian Christian Mission since the early 1980’s. God continues to bless this facet of the ministry and has sent hundreds of children to participate in quality summer programs. We are thankful for the many people who volunteer their time to staff these weeks of activities.
