Mission Nugget

Kodiak Baptist Mission, Kodiak Alaska

Kodiak Baptist Mission works from the understanding that family is the most important aspect of a child’s life. By strengthening the family, we help children become successful. Here are a few of the services provided at KBM: Sonshine Christian Preschool/Daycare [and the Summer Day Camp alternative] provides a Christ-centered school that is dedicated to the discovery of truth and to the active learning about God’s world. Afterschool Programming provides a high quality, safe, Christ-centered atmosphere for school-aged children that focus on positive social and spiritual development. It is fun, age appropriate, and a place of discovery. The Kodiak Island Food Bank’s efforts are primarily focused on Kodiak’s working poor. It is and honor to support people working so diligently to provide a better life for their families. Camp Woody is owned by American Baptist Churches USA and functions as an inter-denominational Christian camp serving the youth of Kodiak and the greater Alaska area. Camp Woody is located on Woody Island three miles offshore from the Kodiak downtown harbor.
