Parker Valley Presbyterian
Our Mission:
Parker Valley Presbyterian Church is on the Colorado River Indian Tribes
reservation. It is located next door to the CRIT Administrative Complex in
Parker, Arizona.
Our congregation has a diverse ethnic background. We
serve Native Americans from the four tribes, Mohave, Chemehuevi, Navajo and
Hopi. Included among the Native Americans are worshipers of European and Mexican
ethnicity.
Worship services recognize the cultural values of our
congregation. We worship God using European, Mexican and Native American
elements during the year.
Parker has a large influx of winter visitors
who enjoy spending the time on the Colorado River. Many join our congregation
for morning worship services during their stay.
Presbyterian missionaries
to the Mohave tribe founded the church early in the 20th century. The Mohave
Presbyterian Church at one time was not only a place of worship but was the
center of community activities until the establishment of a western style
government which was accepted by CRIT tribal members.
Our present church
building was built in the 1960's and is located on 4 acres of beautifully
landscaped lawn. Mature mulberry and native mesquite trees provide abundant
shade during the hot summer months. RV hookups are available for worshipers
traveling through the area and who wish to stop for worship and
fellowship.
