A Voice in the Wilderness
Since 1997, 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.
Through our Impact Initiative, we invite you to partner with us in expanding this mission.
Each area of giving within the Impact Initiative supports transformative experiences and resources, equipping Canyon Ministries to reach, teach, and serve people at the Grand Canyon and beyond. Through your partnership, you help foster experiences that inspire lasting faith, deepen understanding, and equip people to share the biblical message of creation and God’s heart of redemption.
Heart. Soul. Mind. Strength.
“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” — Mark 12:30 ESV

A Ministry Built Around Biblical Creation and the Grand Canyon
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 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 can inspire generations.
