Intercultural Ministries

Arizona is now home to people from more than 120 nations, and over 45% of Arizonans speak a language other than English at home. The Arizona Ministry Network’s Intercultural Ministries exists to reach these diverse cultural, ethnic, and language groups with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.

We believe that God is bringing the nations to Arizona—not only to encounter the gospel, but to be part of the revival that will transform our state. Our intercultural churches are key to that movement.

We serve this vision in three strategic ways:

  • Empowering Intercultural Churches – We coach and encourage established ethnic churches to grow by adding English services and planting daughter churches that do the same.

  • Equipping English Churches – We help English-only churches expand by adding language-specific or ethnically focused ministries and church plants.

  • Welcoming Like-Spirited Churches – We invite and support Pentecostal ethnic or language-based churches not yet part of the Assemblies of God family to join our network.

We believe the future of the church in Arizona is beautifully diverse—and that God is using intercultural ministry to shape it. Revival is coming, and it’s being led by the nations among us.

Native American Ministries

Arizona is home to 27 Native American tribes across 21 reservations—yet less than four percent of this population has been reached with the gospel. The Arizona Ministry Network is committed to changing that. We are honored to partner with Native American churches and leaders to bring hope, training, and long-term spiritual impact to tribal communities across our state.

Through Native American Leadership Training, we are equipping a new generation of ministers—many of whom are receiving their credentials and serving in the Canyon North Section. Training efforts are currently focused in the northern half of the Navajo reservation, with a growing demand from other communities eager to begin. Our courses are being adapted to fit the learning styles and cultural rhythms of Native leaders, and the results so far have been inspiring.

We believe that natives reaching natives is the most powerful and sustainable model for ministry, and we are committed to doing whatever it takes to prepare and support those called to lead.
