WELCOME TO ARK YOUTH!

Our heart is to create a welcoming and engaging environment where students can experience God's love, find friendship and support, and be inspired to live a life for God.

WE WANT STUDENTS TO...

FEEL WELCOME & ACCEPTED

No matter their past or present, we want students to feel they belong and have a significant place in God's kingdom.

FIND SUPPORT & LOVE

Being a teenager isn't always easy. Ark Youth provides a safe environment for students to meet godly friends and find the love and support they need.

KNOW THE LOVE OF JESUS

We want each student to have an opportunity to begin or develop a strong, personal relationship with Jesus and demonstrate His love towards others.

LIVE LIFE FOR GOD

We surround students with godly teaching, examples, and leaders that inspire them to live the life God intended.

Wednesday

Wednesdays are our main event! We have outdoor activities where students can hang out with friends before service. Services last one hour with live worship before we split into junior high and high school for age-appropriate messages.

Doors Open: 6:15pm

Service: 7:00pm

Pick-up: 8:00pm

Where to Go?

Sunday

We have a one-hour service with live worship, a Bible-based message, and age and gender-specific small groups.

Doors Open: 10:30am

Service: 11:00am-12:00pm

Where to Go?

Vibe Night

It's like our regular Wednesday night – but extra. Games are bigger, activities are "funner," and there is free food and giveaways – a perfect time to invite a friend. Each Vibe Night includes worship and a gospel-centered message.

Doors Open: 6:15pm

Service: 7:00pm

Pick-up: 8:00pm

Where to Go?

Counseling

Counseling with a youth pastor or trained counselor is available for our teenagers by appointment.

Ark Youth meets every Sunday morning and Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, doors open at 6:15pm to hang out on the Patio with friends, and the service starts at 7:00pm.

Everyone will check-in at the West Lobby before service. If it's their first time, we'll show them around and help them meet some people.
Ark Youth will be released at the same time as the Main Auditorium. We recommend pre-arranging a meeting spot with your student, especially if they do not have a way to contact you.
The West Lot is reserved for parents to use as a pick-up lot after service. Follow the signs on Ark Drive, then park and text your student; they will come to you.
We begin each service together for activities and worship, then split into separate auditoriums for age-appropriate messages.
Yes! We will work with you to determine the best environment for your student.
