VOA Alaska just made history—commissioning six new ministers and becoming the fastest-growing ministry affiliate in the nation. Rooted in a “church without walls” philosophy, this movement is breaking barriers, meeting people where they are, and proving that love in action can transform communities. From recovery journeys to youth activism, each minister brings a story of resilience and hope—signaling that something extraordinary is happening in Alaska.



VOA Alaska’s School-Based Services bring mental health care directly into Anchorage schools—reducing stigma, building trust, and making support easier to access. With partners like the Anchorage School District, Providence Health & Services, and United Way of Anchorage, the program has expanded from four schools to thirteen, helping students thrive both in and out of the classroom.
