Mission Church (Arctic Village, Alaska)

The Mission Church is a historic Episcopal log church building on the eastern fork of the Chandalar River in Arctic Village, Alaska, inside the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The building is significant as a mission church and for association with Reverend Albert E. Tritt.

A native of Arctic Village, Tritt was converted to Christianity by gospel preaching of Episcopal missionaries at Fort Yukon, about 100 miles (160 km) to the south.

He returned with a Takudh-language Bible and sought to bring others into the Episcopal church.

[2] The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
