Native American Ministries · Since 1949
Native American Ministries
Honor the story. Celebrate the people. Continue the mission. Generations of Native ministers, churches, families and communities have carried this story. This home begins with heritage, keeps people at the center and turns toward the future.
A great door is open
HERITAGE IS NOT A PROLOGUE. IT IS A LIVING TRUST.
Since 1949, the ministry has worked to reach Native Americans, train workers for the harvest and help churches take root on reservations.

A STORY CARRIED THROUGH GENERATIONS.
Choose an era. Each entry distinguishes documented history from the archive still being assembled.
1949 · ESTABLISHMENT
Indian Missions becomes an established department.
Official PCG history places organized Indian Missions in the Kansas City era. An official district history names James James as the first director. The archive remains open for Native voices, photographs and church records that can tell this beginning fully.

More than a number
Every future community page connects history, local leadership, church life and present ministry without flattening distinct peoples into one story.
Rooted presence
PCG describes church construction on several reservations and requests for ministers and churches arriving almost daily.
School of Christ
The School of Christ teaches and trains workers as part of the ministry’s continuing response.
The work today
WORD. WORKERS. CHURCHES.
The Holy Spirit has commissioned this ministry among the 5.1 million Native Americans of the United States: to share Christ, to train workers, and to send First Americans as missionaries in their own right.

Pioneers and Native leaders
THE ARCHIVE MUST BE TOLD WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED IT.
Documented director history names James James, Albert Neal and C. Don Burke in the department’s early decades. The deeper story belongs to Native pastors, families, congregations and communities whose names and memories should lead the archive.
“A great and effective door has opened to me.”
