Welcome to The Ark

The Ark Christian Youth Centre provides a platform of relational evangelism making it more than simply an alternative to other community activities. It is our hope that The Ark is a place of refuge as we believe that God has revealed this to be our unique purpose. At The Ark, through the efforts of our volunteer staff, we aim to provide an exciting environment where kids want to be. We love kids unconditionally, just as Christ demonstrated His love for us. We seek to demonstrate this love by building relationships that provide an opportunity for kids to be introduced to Jesus Christ. We are committed to long-term friendships with youth by making ourselves vulnerable and being mentors. At The Ark, it is our mission to use the relationships formed to be a bridge for youth into the local church body. We aspire to be a place that provides an opportunity for Christians to share their faith and live out the gospel. In this, we wish to foster unity in the body of Christ throughout the churches of Dawson Creek
and area.
