TO: Annual Meeting of the Alaska Conference

Rev. Curtis Ivanoff, Superintendent

Mr. Harvey Fiskeaux, Conference Chair

Grace and peace to you as you gather in the bond of Christ with other churches of the Alaska

Conference.

Each and every one of our 11 regional conferences is vital to our overall Covenant life and mission, as is

your own congregation. Indeed, we talk about being 3StrandStrong: Congregation, Conference,

Covenant. Our one Covenant is comprised of 11 regions with 875 congregations, with all parties

partnering to go deeper in Christ and further in mission.

As I prepare to retire this upcoming summer, I want to thank the Alaska Conference and your church for

your commitment to our three-strand partnership.

We base our collective efforts around five focused mission priorities. Together, we start and strengthen

churches; make and deepen disciples; develop leaders; love mercy and do justice; and serve globally.

Collectively, we are a growing, multi-generational, multi-ethnic mosaic of churches impacting more lives

in more ways than at any point in our 133-year history.

Yet we know the Kingdom of God moves forward only one way: through countless faithful acts carried

out by countless faithful people. And therein lies my greatest appreciation for who we are, a fellowship

less intent on calling attention to itself than it is to point people to Christ. Yes, maybe we are a small

obscure denomination that no one has ever heard of, but to the people we serve, we are the hands and

feet of Jesus bringing and being the good news of new life and renewed hope.

And let me say a special word of appreciation for your superintendent, Rev. Curtis Ivanoff. All our

leaders, including Curtis, are people of great character, competence, and Christ-honoring conviction.

Pray for Curtis regularly, as I hope you would for your conference and for the Covenant.

In addition to this gathering, please make it a priority for your church to be represented at the Covenant

Annual Meeting, June 21-23, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This will be an especially consequential year as

we elect a new ECC president, as well as a new president for North Park University and an executive

minister for our Develop Leaders priority.

Every position I have held in my 42 years of Covenant service has been a distinct honor. Thank you for

your support and partnership, and may God continue to lead us into a faithful and fruitful future.

In It Together,

Gary B. Walter

President

1. Welcome – Harvey Fiskeaux, Alaska Conference Executive Board, Chair

Meeting was called to order at 9:02am.Harvey gave a devotion from Galatians 4. We celebrate our diversity and the Gospel of the LordJesus Christ. Who is a Jew and who is a Gentile – in Galatia they were just trying to find their way.The Church has always been trying to find their way in the shifting culture of the world. This is theburning heart of Paul – even to the point of rebuking Peter. Being in Christ trumps every divisionand issue. The work of the Gospel unites us. We are new creatures together. We are knit togetherin Christ. This is an essential component of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are one people groupfor God. Harvey opened in prayer.

7. Special Greetings

7.1. Gary Walter – President, Evangelical Covenant Church The presence of God is with the Alaska Covenant. There is something special in and thru this fellowship. On behalf of the more than 850 congregations in US and Canada we bring greetings. Founding in 1885. Since then we have wanted to live in a simple rhythm of faith – living for God and living with God. Deeper in Christ and further in Mission. We are a growing multi-ethnic, multi-generational denomination in 40 different countries. We are a Covenant people, both with God and with each other. We are an important part of the movement of God in this world. We are 3 strands strong – the local church, the regional conference, and the denomination as a whole. Alaska is 1 of 11 conferences. The “3 Strand Strong” video was shared highlighting the 5 Missional Priorities.

8. Reports

8.1. Superintendent – Curtis Ivanoff It is a joy to serve with you together in the Gospel.

Curtis invited Gary Walter and Dennis Weidler forward to give thanks and recognize him as Dennis concludes his service with KICY.

The ABA Board and Rob Hall also came forward and Gary presented him with a citation. Dennis expressed his thanks. Curtis shared a story of how significant radio ministry was thru Dennis’ ministry and has been a blessing to many. Curtis presented a plaque to Dennis.

Curtis recognized CYAK’s 25th anniversary and John Hege as a partner in the long haul. 98 Years ago the people gathered in Elim in 1919. Wilson and Minnie Gonongan responded to a

call to “Go” and hopped in a boat named “Hope” to begin the ministry of Mountain Village. This year, Phil Cannon will be planting Hope Covenant Church in Mountain View. Curtis called for everyone to participate in this sending and planting thru giving. The goal is to begin the church this fall. We invite every church to give and participate.

Curtis shared an update of Acts 29 and gave some history of how it began in Sweden. It has been on their hearts to have an Acts 29 in Alaska. We are aiming to host Acts 29 school of discipleship in January. We will be partnering with CYAK for this “school on wheels.” We have the most diverse neighborhoods in the country. It will be a little taste of Heaven to host Acts 29. We affirm the full participation of women in all levels of ministry. There is a lot of work still to do, but we have talented women in our congregations serving. Several women were pointed out. We have gifted women in Alaska. We need to keep looking for those that are gifted and called. I remain burdened by the need for Pastors in rural Alaska. We keep praying and recognize the need. We are thankful for the Murchison’s. We are trusting that God will provide and we covet prayers. Western Alaska Ministry Training continues on in its work. Rob Hall was invited to come and share about NCP. Peter and Cindy Hedstrom are also representing NCP. Rob shared about how Maynard introduced him to Alaska ministries. This is his 43rd trip now to Alaska. The financial training here in Alaska was the largest they have had. They are excited to give the berry buckets. We are more than a Covenant Bank, we are a partner – we want to see lost people found and hurt people helped. Curtis highlighted the AVA workshop. There was a nudging of the Holy Spirit. We need men

that are advocates for victims of abuse. When the call was given on who would come to help – 5 men responded. We need a task force. We praise God and recognize the need for lives to be restored. The Executive Board has encouraged Curtis to take a 6-week Sabbatical.

8.2. Assoc. Superintendent – James Barefoot

James’ primary responsibilities are with the village churches. This has been a difficult year. Praises – I have had a lot of physical difficulties as did his snowmachine this year. Last year there were many village trips, and this year not as many. There were also travel difficulties.

Every week he is on the telephone with Pastors in the village. His time on the phone is very

diverse. From advice on how to fix a snowmachine undercarriage, or how to do taxes, or how to use church bylaws, etc. Very thankful for the interim Pastoral ministry of Chip Swanson in several villages. There is always growth wherever they go. From White Mountain to Golovin, there are more church members and stronger boards. Elim has ratified their constitution, as has Hooper Bay. Hooper Bay had 12 new members join the church as “partners.” It was discovered that 2 churches did not have their EIN numbers as they should have. Both now have them. Aune has worked hard on WAMT. This class was on theology for church leaders in the village. Thankful for interim Pastors. There is still quite a need for Pastors.

Harvey thanked James for his work in the churches and making order with bylaws in the

churches. 8.3. Alaska Christian College – Keith Hamilton Keith recognized those who have been a part of Alaska Christian College. Melanie Shavings

was brought forward to be recognized as alumna of the year. All are invited on May 7th to commencement ceremonies.

Keith highlighted his written report. This has been a mountain top year. Churches were

encouraged to invite their students to come to ACC. The new AA program was highlighted. There is a new partnership with Alaska Pacific University.

Two prayer requests:

The Department of Education is still asking for repayment of $2.3 million as a cloud over their head. Pray for release from this. Pray for the new residence hall.

Debbie was invited to share about New Hope Counseling Center. NHCC was formed in 2003. Counseling services are provided to all ACC students. Over 50% of the students participate in individual and group counseling. The community is also serviced. Counselor Peggy Barkman is doing restorative justice talking circles. This has been used with disciplinary issues with students at ACC. Another privilege is that community members have been coming and faith conversations are taking place. The AC was thanked.

Keith affirmed how NHCC is making an impact. Keith shared a story of an ACC student from a broken home. Not a Christian, he came to ACC to take general education classes. After about a month, he made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ. He will be graduating with his AA in Christian Ministry and will be coming back to ACC as staff. Thanks to the AC for gifts and prayers that are making a difference.

8.4. Covenant Youth of Alaska – John Hege In 1992 John came up with a team from Youth for Christ to serve at Bible Camp. Byron is quite

the recruiter. In 1992 John asked how many people were on staff with CYAK. At the time it was only Byron.

Byron has big vision, and has lots of talent, but what he is best at is getting others to join him in

what he is doing. Curtis, Mark Hill, and Stephen Peterson were highlighted. Byron grew up here and has kept us on track.

Many Mission organizations have gone off track, but that is not the case with CYAK. We are

now at a place where key Native leaders are coming into fruition. They have been discipled and you (AC) are making a difference.

We need the financial support of partners. CYAK is placing people in the areas of their strength. John highlighted the written report. The CBC/CYAK merger was highlighted. The report

shows what the Lord has done in 25 years. The Young Adult retreat was highlighted. Chickaloon was highlighted.

8.5. KICY –Dennis Weidler Dennis highlighted his written report. One of his greatest joys was taking old “Cabin Prayer

Meeting” tapes and digitizing them and playing the old tapes on Friday and Saturday. Dennis announced his retirement and feels confident in leaving the station in a great

technological position, the best financial footing, and with the physical needs fully funded with workers on their way.

Dennis is excited in how far KICY has come. There is an app to listen to KICY and the 2 largest countries who download the app are China

and Japan.

Curtis recognized that Patty Burchell is called as the new General Manager of KICY. 8.6. Women Ministries of the Alaska Conference -

Curtis shared on behalf of Kristi. Laura and Kristi went to Chicago for AVA training and looks forward to continued ministry

Meeting recessed at 10:20am Meeting resumed at 10:34am 9. 2015-16 Alaska Conference Financial Report – Curt Lindner

Curt highlighted the financial report. It is important to note that the spending in this FY is large because the designated income from the previous FY was spent in this FY.

1022 reflects half of a $40,000 gift from a group of Covenant supervisors. There is not much change in most line items. 1052 reflects the $70,000 that belongs to CYAK. Assets are in line with historical amounts. There was a question about what 1301 is. Curtis explained that this is an area that needs to be

revisited. These numbers refer to Hooper Bay land, the old Mission House in Unalakleet, as well as Covenant Bible Camp land. The number may not be completely accurate and needs to be updated. The last adjustment was 2 or 3 years ago.

There was a question about the financial review (6515). This review will be done internally. Harvey thanks Curt for his work to make the report very clear. The Executive Board moved to approve the report as presented. No second needed. Motion carried. 10. 2016-17 Budget – Curtis Ivanoff & Curt Lindner Curtis highlighted the need for personal financial partnership. Gary introduced a video on

stewardship and giving to the conference and the denomination. Curtis highlighted the significance of how the ministries of the AC are possible because of sacrificial giving.

Curt and Curtis highlighted the proposed budget. Curtis explained the changes in Pastors Leaders

registration income and the changes in administrative costs with shifting in bookkeeping responsibilities.

James Ventress asked about “Rural Church Support” and “Youth Ministry Development.” Curtis

clarified that those lines were absorbed into other lines and will be removed in the future.

Betty Jackson asked about local church giving. The history is that the local church gives 10% to the conference. The new suggestion is 3.5% to the denomination and 6.5% to the conference. Gary asked us to just continue to be generous. Harvey gave some historical perspective and pointed to Wass Mute’s leadership in stewardship training.

The Executive Board moved to approve the budget as presented. No second needed. Motion

carried. 11. Election of Executive Board Members – Harvey Fiskeaux Harvey presented the nominations presented by the Executive Board. Evelyn Barefoot served as the

Sergeant in Arms. There was discussion on nominating from the floor.

The floor was open for nominations. No nominations were approved. Rick moved to close the nominations. Seconded. Motion carried.

Votes were tallied. Karl Ashenfelter asked about process in nominating candidates. Curtis and Harvey addressed the

concern and will be reviewing and improving the process.

The Executive Board Members elected are Craig Willoya for the Norton Sound, Mary Lola

Joe for the YK Delta, and Curt Linder for the Road System.

Harvey thanked the outgoing members.

MISSION AND MINISTRY

Start and Strengthen Churches

This past year marked a year of new beginning and also of an ending among our churches:

• Mike Brown, Director of Church Planting (DCP) for the Northwest Conference, continues to provide the

Alaska Conference with guidance in our church planting work.

• Phil (Kate) Cannon signed a Covenant Agreement to officially begin the work as the church planter of

Mountain View Hope Covenant Church in September. The plant has been meeting monthly and will begin

weekly services in September. Phil has been provided a coach, Brian Nanninga, a fellow church planter.

• The River Covenant Church leadership made a decision in May, in concert with interim Pastor Rick

Hinkey and the Alaska Conference, to discontinue operation. None of our work is in vain and we thank

God for the work that was done, while we also grieve that the church has closed.

• Nome and Fairbanks have been in the phase of strategic ministry planning, nearing the end of the process

of the Vitality Pathway.

• We have in view to host a Navigate conference for our Alaska churches. We have waited for the position

of the director of Congregational Vitality to be filled to make any plans. In January it was filled so we hope

to further the conversation and planning to have a Navigate event in the fall.

• We continue to pray for and seek pastors for our churches, particularly for rural Alaska. It is encouraging

to have some candidates on the horizon.

• Samaritan’s Purse is building a new sanctuary for Mountain Village Covenant Church this summer.

• Elim needs a new parsonage and the church building in Scammon Bay is in significant need of either

refurbishing or a new structure.

• Praise God for how KICY radio encourages listeners throughout western Alaska and the Russian Far East.

Make and Deepen Disciples • After almost five years of a dream and conversation between the ECC, the Alaska Conference and CYAK

regarding hosting an Acts29 School of Discipleship, in February 2018 a three-month school was launched.

This is a partnership between our sister church in Sweden, the Alaska Conference and CYAK. Nineteen

students and leaders from five countries, including three participants from Alaska, are here from February

to May. We are grateful for the partnership and would hope to see Alaska serve as a host in the future also.

Tricia Ivanoff served as the planning team leader, and we welcomed Marc Lantz to serve as a co-director

of the school on our Alaska team. Pastor David Dahms has served as school elder.


Develop Leaders

• The pastor/leader retreat was held in August at Alaska Christian College. Robert Owens, Superintendent of

the Southeast Conference, and Executive Ministry Dick Lucco, interim Executive Minister of Develop Leaders,

were our guest speakers.

• Western Alaska Ministry Training classes during this past year: Pastor Chris Kopp (Galena Bible Church)

taught “Equipping the Village Church”, Kristi Ivanoff taught a class on discipleship and spiritual formation,

and Heather Smith taught on healing prayer. People from ten different communities have been able to receive

equipping and training through our WAMT efforts. We are encouraged more new participants being equipped

for ministry in Western Alaska.

• Charis Erhardt and Criss Mitchell were approved by the Committee on Ministerial Standing for a first-

time Ministry License in the fall. We thank God for the calling of pastor and those who answer. Pray for

God to raise up more laborers.

Love Mercy, Do Justice

• The Love Mercy Do Justice mission priority of the ECC has been doing work to renounce what is known as

the Doctrine of Discovery through the Christian Action Commission, and to call our church to action. There

will be a resolution presented at the 2018 ECC annual meeting that is focused on this topic. Other denominations

in our country have made this statement. Pray for this ongoing work.

• Laura Eben is our leader for Advocacy for Victims of Abuse (AVA) work in Alaska. She has identified a

core group of people to advance this important work in Alaska.

Serve Globally

• The Acts29 school of discipleship has brought together young adults and leaders from several different

countries. It has been encouraging to see relationships form and who knows what kinds of new opportunities

will emerge from those conversations. One example has been a teacher from Sweden who is fluent in Sami

language as he worked with the indigenous people of that area in Scandinavia, shared a vision of having a

gathering of indigenous believers from the Arctic regions.

• Mountain View Hope Covenant Church is planted in a neighborhood with people from many different

ethnicities. We have the opportunity to be reaching the world for Christ right in our backyard.

EVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH PRESIDENT

This year will mark a transition in the presidential leadership for our church. Gary Walter has served faithfully

for a decade and had been such a significant supporter of the work of our churches and ministries in Alaska. It

was under his leadership when we became a conference. We give thanks to God for he and his wife Nancy.

John Wenrich has been nominated to serve as the next ECC president. John has also been a wonderful support to

our work in Alaska and we offer our prayers for he and his wife Julie as this summer our annual meeting will

vote. I acknowledge Val Thomas and Harvey Fiskeaux for their service on the 27-member search team that

selected John as the nominee and offer gratitude for their part in this process.

Pray for our church as we prepare for a leadership transition. God is faithful.

CONCLUSION

I am grateful beyond what words can express for the support of my wife, Kristi. Our family is doing well and we

are in good health. We are thankful to serve and for the connections we all have in this family we call the

Covenant. To God be the glory.

Respectfully submitted,

Curtis Ivanoff, Superintendent

Alaska Conference of ECC Annual Meeting 2018

Associate Superintendent Report

James W Barefoot

Greetings to all our church delegates, pastors and youth pastors. This has been an excellent year of

ministry in our Alaska Conference. As you remember I no longer am the financial book keeper which

freed me up for more ministry.

My primary responsibility is communication with our village churches, their pastors, and church boards.

I am in communication with our village church leaders every week, vetting challenges, problems and

opportunities. I help our village church leaders with anything from mechanical issues, financial and tax

issues, theological questions and church leadership challenges.

I also maintain state and federal paperwork for our conference office and some churches. I worked with

three village churches to place temporary interim ministers to serve them.

The highlight of my ministry is face to face visits with our village church leaders and congregations.

September 2017 I visited:

• Koyuk Covenant Church and helped them with board elections

• Shaktoolik Covenant Church helping them with board elections

October 2017 I visited:

• Bethel Covenant Church Interim Pastor Bob White, Associate Pastor Aaron Anderson

• Mekoryuk Covenant Church Pastor Nathan Hanna, wife Sandra and church board

Alaska Conference Annual Report 2018

Dr. Keith J. Hamilton, President

Your Christian college continues to blossom! This fall we again broke previous records with student growth

as 84 students made their way to campus. With lack of bed space, a waiting list was made. This spring, 75

students arrived on campus and with only two not being retained. We are at 73 students total: 66 from

Alaska, and the remaining seven from Michigan, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Washington. Ten were on the

Dean’s List last semester and a total of 927 credit hours being attempted this spring. The goal is to have 80

on-campus students this fall with an incremental increase of five students for the next four years until we

reach 100 students living and being educated/disciple on our campus by the fall of 2022.

In order to serve more students, ACC set out on an ambitious goal to complete a 10,200 sq. foot, three

story residence hall named “Taikuu.” 400 volunteer workers came last summer over 13 weeks from 23

different churches to bless us with their skill and labor. As of today, approximately 80% of the residence

hall is completed with nearly 200 workers coming this summer to complete the project. Our thanks go out

to many workers but especially to Dennis and Connie Schnicke who have lead the project since the fall of

2016. The top floor has been carpeted and the Commons (main) floor is being tiled this week. Thanks to the

Rasmuson Foundation, a gift was received to buy new furnishings and large games for the Commons. A

Sunday school class from southern California also contributed the entire cost of furnishing each room with

quality dorm room type furniture. Next fall, all students should be able to live under one roof for the first

time in our history with two large residence halls flanking our dining hall space. This $2.9 million dollar

project, including a new parking lot and paving all the way onto campus, will be completed debt free. We

give thanks to the Lord and our Covenant family.

With the addition of the new residence hall and the vacating of our cabins, our duplex, and triplex, we will

be renting those units out to ACC staff, non-traditional students, and friends of ACC over the school year to

earn rental income. During the summer, they will be rented out to guest groups, individuals, and

conferences. This summer, five weeks are fully rented bringing additional funding to ACC during the lean

summer donation/giving time.

ACC has been extremely blessed with the gift of a quadplex apartment building located adjacent to our

campus valued at $325,000 at the end of March. This building has four, two bedroom units, adding 16

potential beds to our campus for a grand total of 130 beds now available. This is now our 16th building on

27 acres that we own with a total long term mortgage debt of $340,000.

We have discontinued our one year Certificate in Biblical Studies, as we only offer Associate in Arts

degrees. New this fall is a general studies AA degree (yet to be finalized) for students not wishing to major

in Christian Ministry, Para-professional Education, or Behavioral Health. Current students have almost

equally divided themselves among the four focus areas.

10 new graduates will cross the stage this May 6. You are welcome to join us as former Lt. Governor Loren

Leman is our commencement speaker. We rejoice in our 17th class commencement and what this means

for our state and our churches. With a 12:1 student to staff ratio, we offer the best Christian higher

education degrees for Alaska Natives (in my humble opinion).

Financially, we are on stable ground with some shaking going on. For the current fiscal year that ends May

31, 2018, we are 83% funded towards our annual fund goal. Our scholarship fund is slightly over the goal of

$200,000 for the year and thanks to a few stewards who have placed us in their wills and trusts, we hope to

end the year close to our annual fund goal.

The Board of Trustees have tentatively agreed to the master facility master plan as presented by our

architect on March 23. The plan includes a second classroom building attached to the current building, a

200 seat chapel/worship center, and a high school sized athletic center. This all is a part of Vision 2020, our

capital campaign to bring our campus to completion in building needs and to increase the endowment for

long term sustainability. We invite our conference churches to engage with us to see these projects

succeed and for your college to continue to grow.

Finally, for four years we have waited and asked you to pray for the final agreement from the US Dept. of

Education regarding repayment of a federal grant. We still have no answer from them and it is causing

some havoc with other reporting we are needing to complete. Pray that the Lord will close this chapter and

do it very soon.

Your college is growing. Students are finding Christ and being baptized. Staff are sacrificing for the cause of

Christian higher education. Graduates are finding full time jobs (all education majors are working in schools

today)! Alumni are serving at home and around the world. ACC is fulfilling its mission of empowering Alaska

Natives thanks to the Covenant family and others that support us in immeasurable ways. We are truly in it

together.

Serving Alaskans for Christ’s sake,

Dr. Keith J. Hamilton

President

MANAGER’S REPORT

April, 2018

INTRODUCTION

It is hard to believe I am approaching the one year mark in this position. What an incredible ride it

has been so far. I continue to be humbled by God’s grace and provision for this station. He provides

what we need, when we need it. One example of this was the failure of our AM STL transmitter in

late February, just as the BSSD Regional Basketball Tournament was due to begin. Terry was able to

find a loaner STL in Anchorage, and in spite of less than conducive weather conditions, the part

arrived in time to be installed before that tournament began. We were off the air for five days, but

able to be on for basketball! And the story doesn’t end there. Terry ordered a new part, and told me

it would cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. This was an unexpected expense, as equipment failure

usually is. That very day, as I was opening the mail, there was a letter from a donor indicating a large

donation was coming from an investment company. The amount? $4,000. And I praise God yet

again for His lavish provision for this ministry. God has also blessed us with several large bequests,

also unexpected, with which we are able to expand our Summer Project list to include some much

needed upgrades to both studio and towers, as well as pay down our Triplex loan.

PROGRAMMING

Basketball Season is over, and was huge again this year. In addition to all of the Nome games (Josie

said she called close to 25 games this year, and that is not counting the games we broadcast from other

tournaments!) the BSSD Regional Tournament was the largest in the state with 24 teams and 47

games. We were in non-stop basketball mode from 10 am to 10 pm that week! We sold out our local

sponsorships for the Nome games, and are grateful again for the support of the Norton Sound

Economic Development Corporation for the BSSD coverage. Iditarod coverage also sold out. I am

grateful to Nathan Hobbs, Carrie Easau, Barb Carlson, and Jane DeVries for adding to our coverage

of the top three finishers. With 1A State Basketball that week, the top three were the only finishers we

were able to cover live. By the time of this meeting, we will have carried the evening services for the

Lutheran Annual Conference from Brevig Mission, and the Covenant Annual Meeting from Nome,

something that is always appreciated.

PARTNERING

Lon is working at the Checkpoint Youth Center a couple evenings a week. He is a substitute teacher

at Nome Public Schools, which keeps him busy a few days a week. He is also active in the Nome

Ministerial Association, and has filled vacant pulpits on occasion, both in Nome and in villages. He

has recently taken on the chairmanship of the leadership team at Nome Covenant Church. George

volunteers at Checkpoint, and is a faithful dishwasher for Soup Kitchen on Friday nights. Bertha is

working on completing her Lay Minister’s Certificate through the Methodist Church. Luda often

hosts people traveling through Nome from the villages. Her apartment is a welcome stop-over. I lead

worship at Nome Covenant on the first and fifth Sundays of the month. I continue to be the Spiritual

Mentor for the US2 Missionaries, two young ladies who are serving two years at the Nome

Community Center, through the Methodist Church. Two additional people will join us this Fall,

beginning their two year commitment and serving at the Nome Children’s Home. It has been a

blessing to work with these young ladies and I look forward to our continuing relationship. I am also a

member of the Nome Rotary Club, and participate in events as I can.

FUNDRAISING

Salmon Dinners: Winnetka Covenant Church near Chicago hosted a dinner before the Covenant

MidWinter Conference. I have one church signed up for the Fall Tour, Haddam Neck Church in East

Hampton, Connecticut. I have heard from a couple other churches and will be following up with

them.

KICY 100% Sunday: We continue to receive checks from churches who host this event at a time

other than the October suggested date. I am grateful so many churches have chosen to participate.

Checks have ranged in value from $20 to more than $600.

Sales: These are pretty slow in Alaska. Major advertisers continue to be Bristol Bay Native

Corporation, TSR automotive (Trade for all of our generator service and some automotive service in

Nome and an additional cash schedule for the rest of the calendar year), The Alaska Division of

Elections and Galena Interior Learning Academy. The political season has begun, albeit slowly, and

we did run a short campaign for Dunleavy for Governor in February and March

TECHNOLOGY

Maintenance: The AM transmitter has been very stable and the DCC system is working. Our power

bill for the transmitter is back down to about $11,500 a month. The STL transmitter in the studio was

replaced in March, I replaced the receiver in April, as well as the coax cable that had broken loose

from the antenna at the transmitter site.

FCC: The next Alternative Inspection Program with the FCC will happen in 2018. We have taken

part in the past, and will again. This is a good way to keep our license current. We have requested a

time in late July or early August to allow us to get our summer tower and studio projects competed.

The FCC also now requires that our Public Files be electronically web based. I was able to get

everything uploaded by the March 1st deadline and continue to keep things current. As per FCC

requirements, there is now a link to that public file on our homepage.

WebSite: I try to update this weekly, if there are things to update. I spent a good deal of time

updating contact information and other outdated items this summer, and will continue to work

through the list of improvements I’d like to make.

Satellite: Our satellite, AMC-8, was decommissioned this past summer and we are not able to see

the replacement satellite. We continue to receive direct internet feeds from Moody and SRN, and

continue to deal with daily tweaks to accommodate the delay. It drops every so often, more often

than the satellite did, but is workable.

Studio: We will be upgrading our automation system this summer. After 18 years, it is needed.

Steve Smit, a former volunteer and current broadcast engineer in Minnesota will take the lead on this

project, along with the technician sent by Wide Orbit to do the installation and staff training.

Towers: Nolan Brothers will return this summer to complete brace replacement on the final third of

both towers. The braces are at the tower site awaiting installation. They will also replace the lights and

paint all three towers. We have until November of 2018 to make the final report to the Murdock

Foundation as to how their funds were spent.

EAS/CAP Our EAS unit has been repaired and we are now receiving/sending all required tests. We

had to install a cable box this Fall as we had been receiving ARCS through the satellite we can no

longer see. GCI installed it, and we pay about $50 per month for its use.

Apps: There are apps for both the Android and iPhone operating systems. Both are being

promoted. GCI recently restructured their data and rate plans and we have benefitted hugely! More

data for less money, and no overages since the change.

STAFFING

The good news is that we have a new full time volunteer! Kathy Horner, who had been volunteering

part time assisting with billing and donations, has decided full time volunteering is for her. Her

husband, Ron, is retiring from the school district this year and will volunteer part time for us while

holding down a job in town. They will move into the Brown House in July. Kathy will learn the

Visual Traffic and scheduling programs, as well as take an on air shift as needed. Ron will help in ways

yet to be determined. I am grateful for the servant heart of this couple. I would still like two

additional full time volunteers to fill out the staff.

Lon Swanson continues to host the Breakfast Club and George Bard hosts The Coffee Crew. Luda

hosts the Russian Programming. She also has a part-time job at the Nome Rec. Center. Bertha

Koweluk and Lena Mathlaw share hosting responsibilities for SingSpiration, which is working well as

both travel frequently for their jobs. They work well together, making sure the schedule works.

CONCLUSION

God continues to bless this station abundantly. As we gear up for the summer, I am grateful for all

who support this ministry. We have one couple coming in August for 10 days to help out, and

another church is considering sending a team. Eagle River will send a team in July. Our staff works

hard, and I appreciate the extra load they each take on while we are short handed.

Covenant Women’s Ministry

AVA 907

“AVA 907" is the name of our Alaska group representing the national Advocacy for Victims of Abuse ministry.

We are partnering with the Alaska Conference and the national AVA coordinator in our efforts here in Alaska.

As abuse advocacy is not just a women’s issue, we have gathered a mixed team to represent clergy, laypeople,

men and women.

Currently, our Alaska team consists of the following people: Laura Eben, Anchorage; Brenda Dock,

Kipnuk/Anchorage; Mandy Casurella, Anchorage; Pastor Todd Michero, Eagle River; Pastor Bob Curtis, Hooper

Bay Christine Amaktoolik, Elim; Tricia Ivanoff, Fairbanks; Joshua &/or Alica Mathlaw, Shaktoolik;

Kristi Ivanoff, Alaska Conference representative

Mission Statement is: "To promote safety and healing for victims of abuse and help bring an end to violence

against women, men, and children."

Vision Statement is: "Safe Sanctuaries--Healing Communities"

Our Goals are: *Provide resources to bring healing to victims of abuse. *Equip the Church to minister to

victims. *Promote preventive measures against abuse.

Here are the strategic priorities which we have identified in the AVA 907 development:

I. Development of Team

II. Research & Develop Menu of Resources

III. Adapt AVA Curriculum for Alaska Context

IV. Explore Collaborative Partnerships

V. Plan for Communicating with & Equipping Our Churches

National Re-visioning and Alaska participation

Evelyn Barefoot represented the Alaska Conference at the fall “boot camp” gathering of all the conference

Covenant Women ministry leaders nationwide. The national office hosts meetings in the fall and spring each

year. We have not attended until this year and Evelyn went to “scout” out the meetings and evaluate the

value of our participation. The fall meeting was focused on introducing a new discipleship curriculum being

adopted for women’s ministries. Meagan Gillan, the Women’s Ministries director, also presented findings

from surveys done across the nation in discerning a new direction for focus. Evelyn’s conclusion was that our

conference is at a very different place than the lower-48 and would not recommend that we feel the need to

attend every meeting. Sending a person every other year to one of the meetings would be more appropriate.

The AVA ministry, however, has direct connection with our context and we will continue to work closely with

this effort in the future.

Women’s Retreats

• Mountain Village hosted Dorothy Bekoalok for a women’s conference weekend in February.

• The state wide women’s retreat will be held September 21-23 at North Star Bible camp. We had

another exceptional gathering last year. Speakers were Charis Erhardt, Lucy Daniels, Kristi Ivanoff and

Cheryl Siemers. We held a craft sale there to benefit the Mountain View Hope Covenant Church Plant

Women’s Council

The women’s council has not met in several months beyond approval of expenditures via email. We are in

need of new representatives from Norton Sound and YK Delta and the road system.

2018 Annual Report

God has been graciously working in our fellowship to build His church. Our objective is clear: “We are called love God and others.” God is on the move to bring children into His family and to make us all more Christ-like.

We celebrate!We celebrate the faithful ministry of Nathan Hobbs as Associate Pastor for Family. Nathan resigned his position in order to embrace a more focused ministry with his family and as Chaplain with the prisoners at AMCC. Carlee continues to have significant impact with our children’s ministry. James and Rachael have gone beyond the call of duty in leading our vital Checkpoint ministry. Thank God for Rachael’s care for our nursery. We celebrate the progress of the Tumia Team with Congregational Vitality.

We are grateful!Many servants in our church give of themselves and cannot be honored enough. Daniel Hobbs and Patty have been a wonderful example of spirit empowered worship. We are equipping a Youth Worship Team made up of Sophie and Elsia Hobbs, Mary Fiskeaux, Noah Hobbs, Bethany Daniel and Gareth Hansen. Christina Perrigo has led teams to feed the homeless and hungry of our community through the weekly Soup Kitchen. Lloyd Perrigo has kept our spirits alive by challenging us with a growing mission budget. He also served in repairing and managing the CPN rentals. Angela Hansen has served graciously with a true Biblical spirit of hospitality. Peter Hansen has called together a healthy list of ushers who greet and serve weekly. Melanie Johnson and family have prepared communion and assisted in cleaning our church. Martha Parker leads the Inupiaq Singing Group. Our church Leadership Team has been faithful in the on-going business led by chairman Lon Swanson. Lesli Smith has truly been a special treasure as she has managed our growing budget. Patty Burchell, General Manager of KICY, and team have faithfully aired our weekly worship service over KICY radio.

We are expectant!Our culture and nation are in a state of change. We hold steady to the Word, Spirit and Gospel with a true measured ministry while adjusting to the challenge of a new generation. We are seeking to cultivate relevant ministries, improving avenues of financial giving, completing our building construction needs and learning to love God and care for all our members.

C3 Anchorage Annual Report; April, 2018

Annual Report for 2018 AK Conference Meeting Submitted by Pastor Ben Schoffmann

Leadership Team: Chris Noyles (Chair), Wes Yenter (Vice Chair), Bethany Brown (Financial Officer), Scott Stair (Secretary), Bruce Kovarik, Brad Alexander, Ryan Carroll and Pastor Ben This has been an eventful season for C3 Anchorage. We completed our initial membership process (32 accepted), but initially there were declines in attendance, giving and engagement. The resignation of our founding pastor, Dan Krause, in September 2017, put us at a cross-road. Bi-Vocational Pastor Ben Schoffmann was asked to step-in on an interim basis; shortly thereafter he was called to be Lead Pastor. In the 5 months since a lot has happened, and we are gaining momentum:

• We moved our services to Muldoon Elementary o This school and community are highly diverse (mostly Hmong, AK Native) o We entered into a very fruitful and rewarding school-business partnership o We help with or sponsor many after school events (e.g., learning, movies) o We bring non-perishable foods for school students to our services weekly

• We purchased a home to serve as our Ministry Center in the heart of our mission field (2 blocks from school, next to Standish Park, where we do ministry, and 3 blocks from Safe Harbor transitional housing). After remodeling, we will:

o Minister to the neighborhood (recovery, teaching, care, etc.) o Host meetings/activities for committees, ministry teams, youth, etc. o Have staffed office space (while continuing to worship at the school) o Thanks to NCP for providing our loan. We have a “Movin’ On Up”

campaign to fund remodel costs, and are providing labor ourselves.

• We are working with GraceWorks (Park Ministry) and serving needs at Safe Harbor (Transitional Housing), and have plans with other ministry partners.

• We are a Practice Weekends host church for 6 students in ACTS 29.

• Pastor Kyle Brown and his family, part of the founding team, have returned to AK and C3. He shares the pulpit with Pastor Ben and Brad Alexander, a lay pastor.

• We have lots of young kids again. Ami Carroll is leading the ministry, and we have a monthly family service where kids take an active up-front role in worship.

• We re-started home groups, using the Immerse Bible series.

• Attendance has stabilized and increased, while spending is down (due to a largely volunteer staff), enabling us to focus spending on ministry and mission.

C3 is committed to Christ, Church and Community, striving to live out the Great Commandment (love) and the Great Commission (make disciples). We long to make a difference in our community, by going out to share the love and Good News of Jesus Christ and welcoming in all those God would call to join us. We covet your prayers for our efforts to reach the community, and for workers in the harvest.

Let the little children come to me... Jesus reminds us of the importance of bringing up our children to know Him and His love for them. Their childlike faith also serves as a reminder to each of us that the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Our church has discovered how building our children’s faith profoundly deepens that of our entire congrega-tion. In the past year our emphasis in strengthening our children’s ministry on Sunday mornings and throughout the week has revitalized hearts for Jesus in both children and adults alike.

In September we launched Awana, a midweek bible-centered children’s outreach, which has effectively reached kids of all ages with the gospel paving the way for a life-time of discipleship. This new ministry has not only significantly impacted church families but also prompted families from outside of the church to attend. Several of these families also participated in the re-launch of our church’s VBS that combined high energy activities with dynamic biblical life applications. It is amazing to see the difference that bible memory is making in children and their parents. We are rejoicing in the truth that God’s word never returns void, but is alive and active as it changes lives.

Our Lions and Lambs Preschool added a pre-kindergarten class last fall which has drawn great interest from families whose children aren’t quite ready for kindergarten, or could benefit from a little more preparation before beginning school. The Christ-centered education these children receive help to establish them of a firm foundation of faith.

This is the second year that Community Covenant has served as the sponsoring church in the Anchorage area for Royal Family KIDS Camp, a ministry that hosts a summer camp for children in foster care. Many in our congregation bring Christ’s love to children who have been abused and neglected. This is representative of much of our other missional endeavors that are expressions of Jesus’ heart for “the least of these”, especial-ly children.

Whether serving at Covenant Bible Camp, partnering with Elim Covenant Church to conduct a village-wide VBS, sending a team to Nana’s House, a home for orphaned children, in Tepic, Mexico, joining children at play in Kenya, Africa or in refugee camps in Germany, caring for families and children of prison inmates at Christmas through Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree, or hosting a weekly activity day for the Eagle River Boy’s and Girl’s Club, Community Covenant is committed to pressing into our mission of bringing Christ’s hope, healing, and wholeness to our community and our world.

We look forward to joining with each of our Alaska Conference churches at this year’s annual meeting as to-gether we draw near to Jesus in childlike faith and celebrate his steadfast love.

To God be the Glory!

Pastor Todd Michero and Leadership Team: Brian Heagy, Stephanie Stockhouse, Lou Amundson, Kim Self, Paul Callaway, Ted Smith, Brad Bistodeau, and Maria Hopkins.

New Song Covenant

Through the year of 2017 we continued to see God grow our community in His own unique way.

Some of the ways He has grown us was that we went through the book of Ephesians over the

year. It was refreshing to break it down paragraph by paragraph and work to live each section out

and apply it to our lives outside of the Church.

We have been blessed by adding 3 families to our community. With one of the families added we

have been able to add to our worship team.

The youth group has continued to strengthen in their friendship and in serving. They have been

included in our services to be and take a more active part. In doing so we can see how they are

making their faith their own. We are excited as we will have, for the first time, two of our youth

headed to CHIC.

We had each member of the Church in a small group, where 3 people got together for 4 months

while they shared about 1 focus item. It was great to help them connect in a personal and

intimate way.

Though we fluctuate as the tide does, we are in awe of how our Creator continues to use and

bless our community around us through the people of New Song. Many are actively sharing and

serving Christ outside our walls through helping at schools where their children are, serving on

local boards of ministries in town, serving hands on to those less advantage of as well as serving

in our community through Children’s Church, worship team, speaking, taking care of behind the

scenes etc.

As we look ahead to this year we are excited as we have 5-6 member’s going through a process

of how to disciple. Our prayer is that those 5-6 will then reach out and disciple one each and in

that they will grow and in their growth it will help the Body of Christ to grow.

We are blessed to be part of the Body of Christ and if you are in Anchorage and looking for a

community to celebrate our Risen Lord with we invite you or any from your community to join

us any Sunday at 10:30 at 8225 Spring Street.

God Bless,

Greetings and blessings to the whole Alaska Conference from the Church in Bethel. It is a honor to be

serving the Lord along side you in this great state. We would like to thank the Church of Nome for

graciously hosting this conference, which we hope to be able to host in the near future. Gathering for

fellowship and edification is a important part of our Church life and we are glad to be able to send

delegates to gather with you.

As we walk out our mission to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the delta we have been able to host

Supper club again this winter as well as open our doors to Bethel Winter house homeless shelter.

While this brings challenges it also make our church a magnet for those in need which has given us

opportunities to minister Christ in a real way into peoples need. We are excited about a new

opportunity to open our doors for Narcotics Anonymous we hope this will provide help to many in our

community who struggle with addiction.

We continue to have Mens ministry and adult Sunday school led by Fred Browerman which has been a

blessing to the church. We have a women's ministry group that meets every other week and has been

study in I&II Timothy and Titus thanks to Kristin Kunnoff. Our Awana program continous to be

productive and well attended each week we are thankful for the many leaders who in vest in our

Children through this Ministry. This year has seen great growth in our Youth leaders as we have

developed a dedicated staff that volunteer to run both our Coffee House Ministry and our Youth Group.

This year has been a year of transition as we had our long time Pastor Hugh Forbes transition out of our

Church to join with the work being done in Anchorage while it was sad for us to see Him depart it is a

great joy to know that he is blessing the brothers and sisters in Christ in Anchorage. This Transition

brought on Bob White as our Interim Pastor leading the team with Aaron Anderson as associate Pastor

and Vanessa Tolhofor as Childrens Pastor. This team has smoothed the transition as the Church has

searched for a new Pastor. Recently Pastor Aaron received a call from the Untied Covenant Church of

Gladstone Michigan, this was again a sad time but a exciting opportunity for Pastor Aaron and his

family as the moved into great new things that God has opened up for them.

Our Board is Chaired by Marty Smith and consit of Val Thomas, Greg A , Nick Sanders, Phillip Perry,

Nick Charles, and Alasandra Chung. They have served faithfully a done a great service in steping up to

help the Pastoral team

As last year we report stated we saw many new faces in church this year has continued the same trend

but not just in new people coming to join our congregation but in young families having new births this

has been a exciting time to see God's hand moving on young couples some who have been try to

conceive for quite some time. Our God truly does answer prayer for those who seek Him.

Finally Brothers and Sisters we have made adjustments to our worship service to bring a different

missions effort before the congregation each month to raise awareness of who we support and what

there current needs are. This has been a exciting time as the congregation has came up with some great

ways to meet those needs. We are blessed as a people of God with so much talent and ideas. It is

wonderful to watch God's hand provide above and beyond when we bring missions needs to the

Congregation. We believe God has great things in store for our entire state as we strive after Christ

together.

Hooper Bay Evangelical Covenant Church

PO BOX 527

Hooper Bay AK 99604

Overseer Team: Pastor Bob Curtis, Patrick McLean, Daniel Cernek

This year we called Pastor Bob to serve as our pastor in October. He has been enjoying

joining in the existing ministries of the church as well as bringing in some new ideas and ways

for us to reach out and minister to our community. One of the new things that we have

enjoyed greatly is having a partnership luncheon at Pastor Bob’s after the service now and

then. It is a great time of fellowship and laughter. What a blessing to be part of the body of

Christ.

One of the strengths of our church is our heart for prayer for each other and for the

body of Christ abroad. We enjoyed hosting the Acts 29 group and getting to know our brothers

and sisters in the Lord, as well as the different challenges facing their respective countries and

churches abroad.

We are excited to have another person join our partnership this year after completing

all the perquisites and giving testimony to God’s redeeming work in their life. God’s hand of

grace drawing someone to faith in Him is a story we never tire of hearing.

Another new role we filled this year was to ask Virginia to accept the role of Deaconess

of Sunday School. We have so many young kids coming to church that she has some of our

teenagers helping her in Sunday School. Please pray for her and us as we try to raise up these

young ones into mature believers and leaders of our church, village, and families.

One of the goals the Overseers have for this year is work together on a vision/spiritual

formation statement, to help us develop a goal to be working toward so we avoid the trap of

working hard but going nowhere. Please pray for the Overseers and partners that we would

have wisdom in seeing how God would direct our energies in the coming year.

In closing, we thank God for the undeserved blessing of being called a child of His,

through Christ’s sacrifice, and we covet your prayers that we would be faithful both in our

personal and public walks with our Redeemer that we might bring glory to His name and an

increase to His Kingdom in the coming year.

Mountain Village Covenant ChurchPO Box 32186Mountain Village, AK 99632

Our year began in 2017 in a very unusual way. On New Year's Eve we had about 90 people in our building for the service. When we were getting close to the Midnight Hour we found ourselves locked in, unintentionally of course, but unable to use any of our doors. The building had settled terribly, and all the doors were jammed shut. After a brief panic, we were able to take one door apart and get out. That began a year-long project of trying to rescue the foundation of our existing church building. With help from our friend, Nathan Nagaruk from Nome, we came up with a plan to put a new foundation under the building. Materials were ordered and set for shipment on the first barge down the Yukon River.

I think our foundation issues are symbolic of the work that we needed to do, and still need to do, to ensure that our spiritual foundation is solid in Christ. As we approach are 100-year anniversary, we want to ensure that the spiritual life of the congregation and of its individual members is strong.

During the past year, Mountain Village has had some very sad events take place. We had six suicides in the community, one murder and numerous tragic accidental deaths. One of the great things that had the gun to happen before I arrived in 2016 was a grief Ministry of music in the homes of those who have suffered a loss. Eugene landlord and others had already begun to offer their help to families who had suffered loss of a loved one. They routinely offer to come to a home where a death has occurred for prayers and singing. This is a common practice, but the group made it more attention. The results of this is that the church has built a large amount of good will in the community. As a result, when we need assistance, there are many people in the community who are willing to help who done do not even belong to the church. We praise God for all this.

In the summer of 2017 we put the word out for help from are sisters and brothers in Alaska and around the country in the Evangelical Covenant Church family., but that was it just would not work out. In addition to our foundation work we purchased a new 16 x 20-foot building to use as the youth center, Sunday School classroom and community outreach Center. In the end, we were able to hire mostly local, and with the help of a couple of wonderful experts coming from outside I work was completed by the Fall.

During our summer we also had a wonderful time with a CYAK summer intern, Kaitlin Tom. She was in the village for six weeks from July through mid-august. Her presence made us realize that we really needed full-time youth worker in the village. I'm missing teen from Colorado composed of some great teenagers came up and did a vacation bible school for us. Literally, the streets were crawling with kids! Full-time youth worker could help harness all that wonderful youthful energy into some more positive outlets and reach many of these kids with the message of Christ in a way regular church services do not seem particularly effective in doing.

Early in the fall of 2017 we had a visit from Samaritan's Purse. They were lining up projects for the next year or two and we're evaluating Mountain Village for potential assistants. Following their visit, we were told and that we were number two on their list and that they would be assisting us with a new sanctuary in 2019. This was great news given some of our building limitations. In the meantime, God was apparently working behind the scenes and after about a month we were moved to the front of the line. This means that in the summer of 2018 building will begin on a new sanctuary for Mountain Village Covenant Church that will seat 125 people comfortably. God for this, but suddenly we had to move very quickly to get things ready. Having 16 people a week in the village on work crews for at least 10 weeks is quite a challenge. Please pray for us as we continue to get ready for this major expansion. We are continuing to build the foundation for spiritual health on the word of God, stronger ties of Fellowship in the body of Christ and an increased sense of purpose and Mission for the next 100 years, Lord willing, of our existence.

Scammon Bay Covenant Church Annual Report for the 2018 Annual Meeting

PO Box 109 Scammon Bay AK 99662 / 907-558-6145

Submitted by Pastor Jason Stromstad on behalf of the Scammon Bay Covenant Church.

We are thankful for the leadership of church board members John Uttereyuk, Darlene Ulak, Byron Ulak,

Jacob Rivers, and George Smith.

Blessings dear brothers and sisters in Christ through all life’s joys, trials, and sorrows, we are still ‘in it’

together with you all.

People from the Scammon Bay Covenant Church traveled to Mountain Village for our Lower Yukon

Covenant Church Conference from March 30-April 2. We enjoyed the fellowship and worship along

with people from the Hooper Bay Covenant Church and others who gathered for the Conference.

As part of the ministry of our church, Pastor Jason officiated at the funerals of Francis Ulak, Anna Marie

Aguchak, and Leonard (Sonny) Kaganak and the wedding of Charlie Ningeulook and Georgianna Smith

in Scammon Bay this year and traveled to celebrate the wedding of Axel Kaganak and Faith Joe in the

Hooper Bay Covenant Church. Pastor Jason has been able to travel to offer pastoral support and

encouragement to people in the Hooper Bay Covenant Church while they were in the process of finding

a new pastor. Pastor Jason and people of the Scammon Bay Covenant Church rejoice with the Hooper

Bay Covenant Church as Bob Curtis was chosen to be their next pastor. We welcome Pastor Bob and

look forward to partnering in ministry with the Hooper Bay Covenant Church’s team of Overseers

consisting of Pastor Bob and two men who have been faithfully serving the Hooper Bay Covenant

Church as lay pastors, Patrick McLean and Daniel Cernak.

We rejoice in the continued faithfulness of school teachers, Mary Cook and Holly Williams, in leading

our Sunday School outreach to the elementary students in our village. Mary also has been hosting a

time of encouragement for women in our village through a Ladies Bible Study that meets once a month.

We invited our village to join us in celebration of God’s provision at a Community Thanksgiving Day

meal held in the church which those who were able brought food to share.

Pastor Jason and Catholic Church Eucharistic minister, Elizabeth Kasayuli, led a Memorial Day service

for our village at our cemetery. The Covenant and Catholic Church also did a Prayer Walk together

around our village.

This year, as a village, we were able to send 22 Scammon Bay youth to Covenant Bible Camp in

Unalakleet with the help of local and corporation donors. Pastor Jason served as Camp Pastor at

Covenant Bible Camp for the month of June. Drew and Holly Willams served as counselors at

Covenant Bible Camp again.

We continue to be blessed with the addition of Drew and Holly Williams to our congregation. Drew is a

CYAK (Covenant Youth of Alaska) volunteer who serves as our Youth Pastor. Holly is a teacher who

helps work with the youth and plays keyboard during our church services. They also serve by running a

weekly Youth Group meeting for middle school and high school students Sunday afternoons.

Drew has worked hard to put together a Work Shop housed in a Conex van where he and youth work to

make projects as fundraisers to help youth be able to attend CHIC and Covenant Bible Camp.

As a church, we are very thankful for the Scammon Bay youth who were able to go to Covenant Bible

Camp in Unalakleet and those who will be able to go to CHIC this summer.

We are also thankful for youth from Scammon Bay who have been able to attend Alaska Christian

College and Amundson Educational Center this year.

We were blessed as the Ohio/Florida group from the Missouri Lutheran Synod Church returned this past

July to conduct Vacation Bible School in our village; this was the 15th year in a row that they have

ministered with us.

We would like to recognize Nora Kaganak for her continued contribution of sharing of translations of

hymns/songs in Yupik during worship services. Quyana.
