The Episcopal Church  in Navajoland

Wóshdééʼ! Welcome!

Our Mission is to address the spiritual, social, and economic

needs of Navajo and other Native Peoples through worship,

education, training, and social engagement.

The Episcopal Church began a medical mission in Ft. Defiance, Arizona, in 1894, Farmington, NM, in 1922, and Bluff, UT, in 1942. All real Missions started as Medical Missions. In 1978, the Episcopal Church founded the Area Mission on the 27,000 square miles in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, contiguous with the Navajo Nation. Until recently, our buildings were falling into disrepair, and leadership and vision came from non-native clergy.
