Frontera de Cristo is a Presbyterian border ministry located in the sister cities of Agua Prieta, Sonora and Douglas, Arizona. As one of four binational ministry sites of Presbyterian Borderlands Ministries, that work with churches, presbyteries, and secular organizations on both sides of the border to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.

The mission and work of the Borderlands YAV program is to transform the lives of young adults and youth by inviting them into God’s work of justice and peacemaking in the borderlands. Thus, we are focused on building relationships and community on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border to confront barriers of racism, social injustice and otherness that exist in borderlands. We strive to purposely build partnerships that provide a multi-level response to how barriers in our societies particularly harm immigrant and poor communities to amplify the church’s response of welcome and refuge. Therefore, we are committed to the humanitarian work of organizations and the church in the borderlands that welcomes immigrants and refugees. Young adult volunteers explore how God is working in their lives and the world, by learning about Christian vocation and faith in the borderlands to become peacemakers and advocates for the marginalized in our society.
