Vision Statement
See what God can do through you.
Many people know about Jesus, but they have yet to experience life to its fullest potential.
Our vision is to make His last command our first priority—the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)
The gospel is at the center of all our endeavors and functions as a church.

The gospel is at the center of all our endeavors and functions as a church.
We seek an authentic faith—one that transforms the heart, allowing actions to flow naturally from it.
We love music.
Music stirs the soul and draws us closer to God, the Author of music. Shallow, religiously predictable, and vanilla music dishonors God by making Him seem safe and ordinary. Scripture reveals that our God loves creative, loud, passionate, organized, and powerful music (Psalm 33). Rock and Roll, Blues, Rap, and Classical music all belong to Him. Therefore, we will always highly value music in our Praise and Worship, recognizing it as a doorway to the transcendent.

We care deeply for children and youth.
We take children's and youth ministry seriously because they matter to God . We are committed to serving and protecting the next generation by equipping them with a strong foundation in faith so they can face the challenges of the world.
We do not shy away from difficult subjects because the enemy presents them with tough situations. We believe our children and youth need a faith that is strong, a faith they can understand and explain, and a faith empowered by the Holy Spirit to guide them each day.

We experience joy in our faith.
We love to think deeply and disciple others, but we are also not afraid to have fun—for the joy of the Lord is our strength. We embrace tradition, but we will not be bound by it. We take God seriously, but we do not take ourselves so seriously that we fail to enjoy life in Christ and with each other.

We aim to reach our communities for Christ.
We are a generous church. We are not afraid of money because the earth belongs to the Lord, and we see ourselves as stewards, not owners. Therefore, we hold loosely to everything God places in our hands. We will not be content with simply building our own church kingdom; instead, we will actively engage with the issues of our community.

We are comfortable with who we are.
We embrace our uniqueness and understand that we may not be for everyone. We believe God has something new and unique for us in this time, and we trust His plan. Our church is not built on one person or one gift—we have a leader, but we also celebrate the unique leadership gifts and abilities of everyone on our team.

We are a Spirit-filled church.
We constantly seek what God is doing in the present. We wholeheartedly embrace the gifts and movement of the Holy Spirit, believing that signs, miracles, and wonders will naturally follow as we fulfill the Great Commission and bring light into the darkness. We are not thrill-seekers, moment-chasers, or people who cling only to how God moved in the past. Instead, we desire authentic and unique encounters with God through the Holy Spirit.

Our Values
- We value the Holy Spirit.
We welcome His presence, His gifts, and His guidance without restriction, compartmentalization, or denial. We allow Him to move freely and have His way. - Prayer.
We prioritize corporate and personal prayer. We do not treat prayer as a ritual, but as a powerful means of communication with God. We pray with expectation, knowing He responds with miracles, guidance, strength, anointing, and revelation for this moment. - Worship.
Psalm 33 calls us to "play skillfully and with a loud noise," and 2 Chronicles 5 describes 120 priests blowing their horns, resulting in the glory of God filling the house. We believe worship should be passionate, meaningful, and powerful—not predictable, lifeless, or passive. Worship shakes prison cells, drives away demons, brings down walls, prepares the way for God's glory, and allows people to move beyond their emotions into true spiritual connection. Our worship is intentional, real, rehearsed but not trapped, and it should move both us and God. - Obedient, faithful giving and generosity.
We see the bigger picture and are committed to obedience in supporting God's work. - Involvement and participation.
As we are transformed by God's Word, we naturally shift from being consumers to contributors. - We are a soul-winning church.
There are times when our services should resemble a Billy Graham crusade. While we "have church," we also recognize the need for conviction and intentional outreach to the lost. - We believe in deep roots.
Isaiah 61 calls us "trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord." Colossians 2:7 encourages us to "let our roots grow down into Him" so that our faith will be strong and overflowing with spiritual fruit. More than simply building a church, we are cultivating an orchard of deeply rooted believers. - We value absolute truth.
Our motto is "A voice for truth." In a world filled with shifting "personal truths," we boldly preach the unchanging Truth of God's Word. We believe truth is not something we discover—it is a person we must encounter: Jesus. - We value Sunday nights.
The Lord's Day belongs to Him all day long. We hold small group Bible classes on Sunday nights, followed by praise, worship, or prayer. Our structure resembles traditional Sunday School but with a modern, small-group feel, all taking place on campus to maintain unity. Psalm 133 reminds us that where there is unity, the Lord commands His blessing. - We value abstinence from judgment-altering substances.
Too many churches blur the lines of compromise in this area. Scripture is clear about substance abuse, and we believe believers are never "off-duty." We do not indulge in substances that impair judgment or damage our witness. Instead, we remain continually filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18), leaving no need for dependency on anything else.
Participation Path - The Four G's
We invite everyone who calls The Ark Church their home to participate in ministry and grow their faith through:
- Gifts – Using God-given talents to serve.
- Growth – Continually developing in faith and knowledge of God's Word.
- Groups – Engaging in Sunday Night Bible Groups and community.
- Giving – Practicing generosity and stewardship.
Mission Statement
We exist to be a voice for truth in a world void of absolute truth. We exist to be a light in the darkness. While we seek revival power, we understand that signs, miracles, and wonders will follow as we faithfully answer the Great Commission—reaching children, teens, and adults for Christ.
We live with a deep awareness of and reliance on the Holy Spirit—our Guide and Helper, sent by Jesus for us. As we walk by faith, lean on the Spirit in trials, boldly proclaim the truth of God's Word, and reach others, we refuse to simply maintain—we multiply.
Finally, we want to be known more for what we stand for than what we stand against.
