Want to know more about our ministry in Fort Smith?

Sign up for our newsletter, The Northern Light. Thinking about coming north for a visit? You can sign up for that too. Ways to give are there as well.

It's all on our Come North page: stjohnsfortsmith.com/north

Clergy, curates and families are invited to visit, stay, or live with us and see northern ministry up close. We want Fort Smith to be the place where people begin their ministry in the North: a welcoming home away from home.

Looking for a once-in-a-lifetime summer ministry placement?

I’m excited to share a fabulous opportunity for motivated, adventurous, Biblically-faithful, Gospel-minded theological students!

The Diocese of the Arctic ministers in 51 remote communities across Northern Quebec, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories of Canada. The landscape is rugged, the challenges require clever solutions, but the sense of community among Christians faithfully living life together in these small hamlets in the north is truly life-changing.

Our goal is to get the wider church excited again about old-fashioned, in-person, on-the-ground, face-to-face ministry in the rural and far-flung reaches of North America, while sharing the deep faith and community life of generations of faithful Christians across the Arctic with the wider world.

We think the best way to do that is to let the next generation of church leaders see and experience northern ministry first-hand.

If you know any mature, committed, adventurous theological students looking for a summer ministry placement like no other, please share this post with them, and contact us for more information!

Airfare, housing, and a modest stipend are provided for those who are selected.

If I ever say I want to move to a city, remind me about stoplights and traffic, and how 8 kilometers can take 45 minutes; I'll take a herd of bison over this any day.
