Believing
that whole lives and healthy homes and communities begin
with a foundation in the Word of God, the Alaska-Yukon
district is working to bring people in the North toward an
understanding of who God is and who they are in Him.
Currently, there are over 28 churches in the district
reaching the diverse regions and people with the gospel.
Internationally, the United Pentecostal Church International
(UPCI) has been counted among the fastest growing

by the merger of the Pentecostal Church, Incorporated, and
the Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ. From 617
churches listed in 1946, the UPCI in North America (United
States and Canada) today lists 4,358 churches (which
