A Christian Ministry in the National Parks (ACMNP) is a grassroots ministry that began in Yellowstone National Park in 1951 with the dream of providing Christian community for the people working in, living in, and visiting the first national park in the world. ACMNP accomplishes this by helping students find paying jobs and housing in the national parks. Upon arrival in the parks, ACMNP team members serve with ACMNP by leading and initiating interdenominational worship services, bible studies, community building activities and park stewardship projects.

JOB DUTIES

Outside of working approximately 40 hours a week in or near a national park, ACMNP team members are expected to lead approximately 1-3 interdenominational worship services on Sundays with their team. This may include leading worship, sharing a message, and greeting worship attenders.  ACMNP team members also minister to their co-workers and members of the national park community throughout the week, building intentional relationships by sharing God's love.
