Anchorage Moravian Church

Allowing God's Spirit and His Word to touch many lives for Christ among Alaska's Native people.
The love of music and the many musical talents of its members is a blessing not easily forgotten.

If the Holy Spirit is tugging at your heart to worship, come and experience it with us.

You will hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Yup'ik Eskimo, Inupiat and English at our services!
Praise God!
