About Us
Mission ConneXion Alaska is a conference organized
by Alaska Missions Conferences, a non-profit corporation.
The Mission ConneXion Alaska focuses
on bringing the
body of
Christ together
on the
common theme
of spreading the Gospel to our community and across the
globe. We do this by providing an opportunity for Christ-based
mission
organizations to exhibit their information to the community
in an atmosphere that is fun and festive. During the last
conference in 2008, which was called Mission Fest Alaska
2008, about 50 exhibitors participated.
Just a few of the activities that the Mission ConneXion
Alaska event provides free to the community include:
- Mission’s exhibits
- Musical entertainment by local Christian artists
- Children's activities
- Food court
- Workshops on relevant topics for people interested in missions
- Guest speakers.
A separate event, but also worth mentioning, is the Mission
Banquet held in the evening following the Missions Fest.
Our Objective:
Mission ConneXion Alaska is a cooperative effort of various
Christian churches, ministries and individuals in the Fairbanks
area
seeking to encourage area-wide churches to send believers
to carry
out
the Great Commission.
Our Mission:
- To promote local mission organizations by providing them
with an opportunity to exhibit the ways that Christ is
working through their mission program.
- To provide them with an opportunity
to share with the community of Interior Alaska what
local, regional, and worldwide mission organizations are
achieving
here in Alaska.
- To encourage the local community to develop
a heart for missions and to help people find a
place where their interests and abilities can best be put
to
use.
Our Statement Of Faith:
- Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
- Jesus Christ died for our sins.
- Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
- Jesus Christ is the head of the church, which is His
body.
- Jesus Christ will return for His own.
