We exist to help disciples make disciples.
We are a discipleship training center for adults, designed to bring Native American and First Nations people to life and maturity in Christ by equipping disciples and training leaders through biblical education, character formation, and ministry training.

Our History
Mokahum Indian Bible School was founded in 1948 by the Christian and Missionary Alliance as a school providing Bible training to Native Americans. Over the next 30 years, students from many tribes came to Mokahum to study, going on to become pastors, missionaries and Christian leaders in communities and reservations all over North America.
After Mokahum’s closure in 1978, the school sat vacant for nearly 30 years. In 2006, the Alliance offered to give the property to Oak Hills Center for Indian Ministries for the reestablishment of a Native training center.
The new Mokahum Discipleship Ministry is a community where Native Christians can come to receive mentoring, ministry training, and biblical education that will prepare them for life and service in the body of Christ. It is a safe place where followers of Jesus Christ can together build a strong foundation to withstand adversity, to grow in love for God and others, and to serve Christ faithfully.
Mokahum is...
Relational.
We are a community who learns, grows, and does life together – as students and as instructors.
Intentional.
Our course work is outcome-based, which means that we are done when we are living out what we have learned. For this reason there is no time limit on time at Mokahum – students graduate when they have mastered what they are learning.
Reproducable.
We fulfill the Great Commission when we make disciples. Everything we do at Mokahum is designed to be reproduced with others.
What We Believe
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are all verbally inspired by God, without error as originally written, and our only infallible rule of faith and practice.
We believe God is the creator and eternally exists in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and these three are one God; having precisely the same nature, attributes, perfection, and worthy of precisely the same worship, honor, confidence, and obedience.
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. We hold to His virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death, bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His present high priestly ministry, His translation of the church and His personal premillennial return to set up an earthly kingdom.
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who convicts the unsaved and effects the full salvation of the believer.
We believe that all human beings are made in the image of God and, therefore, have dignity and worth. We further believe that, through the fall of mankind in Adam, all are sinners by nature and stand in need of regeneration.
We believe salvation was provided through Jesus Christ by His substitutionary and sacrificial death on the cross, sufficient for all, taking every legal obstacle out of the way, and that all must be born again or be forever lost.
We believe eternal life is the sovereign work of God’s grace given to those who believe and receive Christ.
We believe the destiny for the believer is to be present (at home) with the Lord and for the unbeliever is to be separated from the presence of the Lord in everlasting punishment.
We believe the church is an organism of which Christ is the head, made up of individual believers who have been saved by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through the grace of God and baptized into Christ’s body by the Holy Spirit.
We believe the great evangelistic and missionary commission given by Jesus Christ to the disciples and to the continuing church is that of making Christ known by word and example and bringing maturity to those who believe by instruction in the Word.
