Our parish church in the Yukon Territory |
The first mission/church was actually founded by Dr. Eyman about 25 kilometers west of Amman Jordan in 1978. It started as a first aid station and because of the muslim influence, the Christian mission portion operated underground. With little training, we managed to school some local men to operate the mission/first aid station. Later that year as Dr. Eyman worked in Costa Rica, another mission church was started and staffed by a retired Lutheran minister. Upon his returned to these areas each year, he was able to keep these missions going with whatever donations he could muster. At that time, he was working as an archeological photographer and surveyor starting in Jordan in January. Due to the time constraints of the professors who ran the various digs, each project would usually last about six weeks and then he would move on to the next one. He was able over a six-year period of time to work in most of the Middle East, some of Europe and Siberia. By late summer, he was usually in South America, then Central America and ended the year usually in October in Yucatan.The official "Lutheran Churches of Calvary Grace" started in the Papago reservation in Arizona. It was not long afterwards that we branched out with an outreach program into Mexico. Several years later, the Lord called Dr. Eyman to Alaska where the Lutheran Churches of Calvary Grace of Alaska was formed. These churches were bush churches, most of which held services in private homes or in public buildings such as schools or village meeting halls. We began to spread into the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada. We now have 24 mission churches in the far north and every minister there has gone through our two-year ordination course. For the last five years, Dr. Eyman and his family have been operating in the lower 48 States working primarily with the homeless while the bush churches continue to function and grow. This has been a ministry with ever-increasing needs as the homeless population grows every year. This is in addition to our expansion into Mexico and the Orient. |

Our parich church in Chihuahua, Mexico |
While we are primarily a mission group of churches, we also offer grief and bereavement assistance through our recourses pages on our main site. We offer ordination on a very limited basis for those who complete a two-year program requiring two sessions of personal tutelage by one of our existing pastors in the field each year for the two-year period. This is open to males only and completing the curriculum does not guarantee final ordination, which is subject to a final evaluation. |
