About Our Minister:
The Reverend Linus A. Mathis III was both founder and director of Frontier Christian Ministries. In December 2016 he fell asleep and is awaiting the Return of Jesus Christ.
His pursuit of God's Word began in 1976 when his parents introduced him to the greatness of God and His Word. At which time he set aside all other disciplines and began a pilgrimage to know God and His Word which he continued for the rest of his life. A brief stint in Bible College earned him an Associate in Theology in 1983 and he was ordained to the Christian Ministry in 1985. He did missionary work in Alaska, Illinois, L.I., New York and served with several ministries in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island in New York City. His love for Alaska brought him and his family back in 1995 where he founded Frontier Christian Ministries. He was always accompanied by his assistant, confidant, main critic and love of his life, Sue, whom he married in 1973. Together they have raised two children and gone on many adventures.
Rev. Mathis was born in Queens, NY in 1945 and grew up in the boroughs of NYC as well as the counties of Long Island, NY. He graduated high school in 1963 and worked as an auto technician with his father until he opened his own auto shop in 1973.
In 1977 he and Sue began their quest to learn as much of the Bible as possible. While in the Biblical Research College they were given a missionary assignment for Fairbanks, Alaska. It was then that their great love for Alaska was kindled. However, graduation from Bible College saw them ministering God's Word in the boroughs of NYC. After twelve years of serving in New York the call to Alaska was again heard. In 1995 they relocated to the beautiful Matanuska-Susitna Valley of Alaska where two years later Frontier Christian Ministries was founded. The rest is, as they say, "His-story."
Rev. Mathis never forgot what God had done for him nor where he came from. He maintained an understanding of what a working man goes through and what it's like to be unfulfilled in life. Because of this he was able to understand the need man has for purpose and was not afraid to get his hands dirty, remaining ever thankful for the joy of work. He believed work is good and all work is honorable. He remained convinced that God makes His calling clear and once man hearkens to it, everything falls in place. He maintained that a leader leads from in front of, not behind, the desk and never asked anything of anyone he hasd not first asked of himself.
