Kalskag Bible Chapel - 2004

Kalskag is a village that is located on the Kuskokwim River. The people are mainly Yupik Eskimo and Athabascan. Church planters, Macarlo Christensen and his wife Darlene, started mission trips to Kalskag in 1991. During Bible School, the Lord opened their hearts for the people’s need of a relationship with Jesus Christ. The Lord began to impress upon their hearts the need to move to Kalskag to plant a church. In the late 90’s Macarlo heard about the Covenant Churches in Alaska and began to pursue an affiliation with the Evangelical Covenant Church of Alaska. In June 2001, Kalskag Bible Chapel was presented by the Evangelical Covenant Church Annual Meeting as a new Covenant church plant. The church was presented with a Frontier Friends-Kingdom Builders grant to break ground on a building for the church. Macarlo and Darlene are looking for a seasoned pastor to step in and minister to this village.
