Matthew 28:19 commands us to "go ye into all the world and make disciples of men." The Ark is a church on the move. We are taking our ministry into the world through the preaching and teaching of the Word, the spreading of the Good News via television broadcast, and the active, committed ministry of outreach. Faith without works is dead (James 2:26). The Ark is a "working" church.
