New Here?

Stepping into an unfamiliar place for the first time can be a little intimidating and maybe even uncomfortable for some people - especially when it's a church. We get that and have prepared our weekend services to be Sprit-Filled, enjoyable and hassle-free. When you visit The Ark Church, you can expect to feel welcomed and accepted from the moment you step through the door. You'll be warmly greeted with love and a smile So, here is our best attempt at explaining what our church services are like. If you like what you see, join us for our Worship & Word service or mid-week Word on The Ark Bible Study, would love to meet you!

Our church is a friendly church! We're A Small, But have a BIG Heart

One of the first things you will notice as you walk through door is that we are a contemporary small family of believers. While there, you'll probably notice people from all different backgrounds and walks of life - maybe even some people you know. While in the lobby, there is a welcome table that provides information to hel you get more acquainted with our ministry, greeters will always be close-by to answer any questions and make you feel welcome any way they can.

Once in the Sanctuary, you will be encouraged by our passionate live-band and worship team, relevant and inspiring presentations of the Gospel, and life-changing prayer times. You will notice that The Ark Church has both, a contemporary and pentecostal flow with old school values, up-beat, and simply put, fun, but more importantly, that it's a Christ-centered church. That's something we never apologize for - our church revolves around the message of Jesus and works hard at communicating it in a way that is authentic and life-giving.

All in all, what you can expect at The Ark Churc is pretty much what you could expect when visiting friends - to be respected, taken-care-of and to leave feeling that you're glad you came, we stand firm on our motto, Come As You Are! Leave Changed!! Come Back Expecting!!!

Service starts promptly at 9:15 am

Intercession time

You will know that service is starting because you will see one of the Ministers preparing to begin our morning prayer. 

Scripture and Mission Time

Our opening song begins, the scripture is read, and our praise team sets the atmosphere for worship.

Praise & Worship Time

The praise and worship team and musicians begin singing to God, beginning with some upbeat contemporary songs. As the faster praise songs end, they are followed by a time of slow, peaceful worship. You can raise your hands, lift your voice, and just lose yourself in the presence of God. The Holy Spirit flows throughout the sanctuary as the worship team ministers with tenderness and emotion.

A Time for Giving

The Worship Team Sing Praises After our ministry time, we collect our tithes and offerings. We believe that giving is an important part of our faith. It helps to keep the church running and our senior pastor available for our members. This is the time we contribute an offering as God leads. We thank you for your generosity. If you are still a member of another church, you may wish to give your tithes to your own church, but you welcomed to present an offering if you feel that you would like to do so.

After Giving, God's Word Is Spoken

Worship Team Singing As the slow worship music fades, Pastor Mitchell begins to preach the word or present a guest speaker. The preaching in our church is uplifting, encouraging, and challenging. We preach the unchanging Word of God in a way that you can understand, apply, and build upon. You will nod, smile, laugh, and just enjoy yourself as our pastor delivers the Word of God

Moments of Prayer & Breakthrough

After the preaching, there is usually a time for prayer. You can feel free to get up out of your seat and receive special prayer for whatever may be troubling you! You may also want to request prayer for someone you know. This time is dedicated to you and your needs.

A Final Prayer

After the preaching, we dismiss the congregation, sometimes with a song. Other times, a simple prayer will do. Upon dismissal you will be approached by our church members, other visitors, and some of our leadership. You will most likely be invited to return the following Sunday or our mid-week Bible Study. Take time to meet our leadership team and learn more about the families that make up our church membership.

We are confident that you will just love our church. So, what do you think – would you join us this week? If so, click here for directions and a schedule of our services. Remember, Come As You Are! Leave Changed!! Come Back Expecting!!
