It’s a community and sports facility designed for safe, family fun and events that enhance the spirit of a community environment. But just because our title is About Reaching Kids doesn’t mean that is our only focus. We are a full family and community center 0-100, young at heart, single or married, with or without children, this facility is for you. Some of the features to be represented are two different Rock Climbing Walls, Full Size Gymnasium, Racquetball Court, fully furnished Fitness Center and an Inside Walking Track.

We have several meeting rooms that can be rented for family gatherings, training sessions, or receptions. Our Audio Visual Room will enhance your presentation and maximize its impact. We gladly accept suggestions of activities or events you would like to see. Just send us a message.

First Main Event- Wild West. Registration is open!

10/05/2026

Introducing MAIN EVENT at The ARK!

Middle school is its own season — and we think middle schoolers deserve something created just for them.
MAIN EVENT is The ARK’s monthly experience for students in grades 6–8, built around fun, community, relationships, and faith.
And MAIN has a purpose:
M — Middle School Age
A — Anchored in Faith
I — Intentional
N — Noticed
This isn't a traditional youth service. Each month, students will come together for different Experiences, snacks, big group games, time with friends, and a short, intentional faith moment.
Our goal is simple: create a place where middle schoolers can have fun, build relationships, grow in faith, and know they are noticed.
And now we're ready for our first adventure.

MAIN EVENT: WILD WEST is coming October 26!
Check out the flyer and scan the QR code to register.

Last Sunday, Pastor Judi was unable to finish the message she had begun, but we believe that what God started will not be left unfinished.

This Sunday, August 30, our founding pastor is coming back to finish the Word she was bringing to this house.

We are not coming back focused on the interruption. We are coming together as a church family in prayer, faith, and expectation. We are standing on the Word, trusting God, and ready to receive everything He has for us.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6

Come ready to pray. Come ready to receive. Come ready to stand together in faith.

What God began will not be left unfinished. We will be there when Pastor Judi finishes the message.

The ARK will be closing at 11am this morning.
