Dutch Harbor

THE VILLAGE

Picture
Dutch Harbor, located on Amaknak Island in Unalaska, is one of the few American sites bombed by the Japanese in WWII. Today, it is known for fishing or seafood processing which is the major industry on the islands. UniSea, the largest corporation, is a major employer although there are several employment opportunities: teachers, a fire chief and police officers are some of the positions that are available. There are many different cultures and people groups represented in community. Historically as well as today, Dutch Harbor/Unalaska is predominately native Aleut; Filipino as the largest Asian population on the island.

Email Epher
Pastor Epher is a recent transplant to Unalaska/ Dutch Harbor as of 2019. A nurse by profession, Epher served in the Philippine military from 2008-2010. Feeling divinely inspired to serve in a pastoral vein, he received his theology degree from the Adventist University of the Philippines in 2011 and served as a pastor until 2015 in the Inter-American Division. In 2015, he began studying at Andrews University in pursuit of his masters of divinity degree which he will receive this summer. 

Over the past several months, he has begun developing relationships in the community in hopes to get a solid group established. In 2020, he hopes his relationships will develop into more consistent Bible studies and expanding the work.
