About Serving On “The Rez”:

Dozens of youth visit Tuba City Church of Christ every year to help the church reach out to the community via work projects, Vacation Bible Schools, one-day youth group events or through other services. 

It is through these week-long visits that Tuba City Church of Christ serves a dual purpose – exemplifying God’s love in the community while training visiting Christians to work in a mission field.

Groups stay on the church property, which can house 60+ people and includes both a kitchen facilities, dining area and showers.
We do ask for a $100/per person donation to offset the cost of water, electricity and gas. Wi-Fi is available onsite for group leaders.
