 Many of the current families were drawn to the Prescott area by the wonderful four-season climate, including the changing of the leaves in the fall and snow in the winter, as they are at approximately 5,000 feet elevation.
 The area includes many small but growing towns, while still offering the relative closeness of large city services. Innumerable opportunities for outdoor activities, full services for retirement and education for younger people, also continue to be attractions to the area today.
Prescott is an easy 100-mile drive north of Phoenix and 100 miles southwest of Flagstaff. It is the county seat of Yavapai County and has a population of 40,000. With nearby small towns, the total population is about 100,000.

Opportunities for Service
|
 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matt 4:19
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 1:27
To fulfill the commands, to be "fishers of men" and to take care of orphan children, three families from the Prescott, Arizona church are embarking on an outreach ministry called Redemption Hill Ranch. Two of these families have moved there for this purpose. Their mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children and families can learn about the saving hope of Jesus Christ, and acquire practical skills such as car mechanics, carpentry, concrete, landscaping, gardening and livestock.
 To assist at the ranch, two single members have also moved from the Midwest. This gives Prescott church a total of eleven families, seven singles, and seventeen children who live and worship in this area. Many of these families and singles were also drawn to the area through the Lord's leading to support a small church and foster outreach into the community.
In addition to the ranch, the Prescott church family is active in spreading the gospel in their areas of employment and with neighbors and friends. They serve meals monthly at the Prescott Area Woman's Shelter and provide World Relief activities that involve everyone, ages four and up.

The first sermon by an Apostolic Christian minister was preached in Prescott on May 4, 1986 by Elder Bro. Richard Schupbach from Phoenix, with approximately forty six people in attendance. At that time, they met in a modified mobile home situated behind the office of a chiropractor, Ray Massner. Bro. Harvey and Sis. Ethel Smith, a relative of Ray's, had moved to the Prescott area to live.
