The Native Christians Network is a willing partnership of churches, schools, and individuals ministering within Native American and First Nation communities. We are united by our love for Jesus and our dedication to equipping and training Native people for leadership and service in God’s Kingdom.

Our network includes local, national, and international ministries on and off reservation. Our partners operate churches and schools for all ages, offer theological training for adults, and care for our communities in a variety of ways.

The following list highlights many of our partners, but does not list them all as new ministries join our network.
