A Voice In The Wilderness...
For nearly 30 years, Canyon Ministries has faithfully shared the wonders of God’s creation and the message of biblical truth, guiding individuals, families, pastors, and educators through awe-inspiring experiences at the Grand Canyon. Our ministry impacts thousands every year, connecting people to the Creator through life-changing outdoor adventures and continuing research that affirms faith in God’s purposeful design.
Now, through our Impact Initiative, we invite you to partner with us in expanding this mission.
Each area of giving within the Impact Initiative funds transformative experiences and resources, equipping Canyon Ministries to reach, teach, and serve individuals in profound ways at the Grand Canyon and beyond. This initiative helps Canyon Ministries remain as a vital voice within the Christian community, bringing the message of biblical creation to more people in the places that inspire awe in God’s handiwork.

By joining us, you make a direct impact on lives, fostering experiences that inspire lasting faith, deepen understanding, and equip people to share the biblical message of creation and God’s heart of redemption seen every day at the Grand Canyon. Together, we can shape a legacy of faith and provide transformative experiences for generations to come.

WHY SUPPORT CANYON MINISTRIES?
Canyon Ministries was founded in 1997 to provide Christ-centered rafting trips through the Grand Canyon. Over the years, we have partnered with Answers in Genesis, the Institute for Creation Research, Focus on the Family, and several other organizations to provide Grand Canyon tours and research trips.
Through expansion into many other programs, Canyon Ministries has shared the canyon from a biblical perspective with tens of thousands of guests on river trips, multi-day backpacking trips, and daily rim and hiking tours year-round.
From the beginning, Canyon Ministries has remained steadfast in upholding the authority of Scripture from the very first verse and equipping people to defend the gospel, especially with regard to biblical creation, science, and apologetics.
Through the Impact Initiative, your giving directly impacts the lives of individuals and families who experience the Grand Canyon with us. By supporting our Passion, Compassion, Education, and Community drives, you partner with us in sharing God’s story of creation, reaching new hearts, and expanding a legacy that will inspire for generations.
Your gift fuels our passion to spread the biblical message of creation, helping us reach hearts with the truth of God’s design. Together, we can make a lasting impact that goes far beyond the Canyon walls.
