Since 1953, Grand Canyon Community Church has partnered ACMNP to support college and seminary students who spend a summer working full-time in the park while providing relational ministry and worship services on the rim of the Grand Canyon and in the campground. Each summer, 14-18 ministry staff members come to the Grand Canyon to work full time in the park and minister to local residents and park visitors alike.
