Our Mission & Vision
Love God, Love People
OUR MISSION
We unite churches across the Highland Lakes to provide refuge and reveal God’s love through faithful action. Together, we walk alongside vulnerable neighbors, meeting urgent needs while guiding them toward healing, renewal, and lasting transformation in Christ.
OUR VISION
We envision a Highland Lakes where no one faces crisis alone — where churches move as one body, generosity overcomes fear, and every life is restored through the transforming love of Jesus.
The People Behind the Mission
The mission of the Ark is not carried by programs alone. It is carried by people.
Faithful leaders. Compassionate staff. Dedicated volunteers. Generous churches. Community partners who believe no one should face crisis alone.
Behind every meal served, every family housed, every prayer offered, and every life restored is a network of individuals who have chosen to show up. They bring wisdom, humility, courage, and consistency to the work each day.
We are not perfect people. We are people bound together by perfect love, serving side by side for the good of our neighbors and the glory of God.
When you meet our team, you meet the heart of the Ark.

Neighbors Thriving
We envision a region where crisis does not define a person’s future. Through consistent support, loving relationships, and practical help, families regain stability, children find security, and individuals rediscover hope. Thriving means more than surviving. It means flourishing with dignity and purpose.

Lives Transformed
True transformation begins at the cross. We believe every life can be renewed through the restoring love of Jesus. As physical needs are met and hearts are healed, stories change, futures are rebuilt, and faith becomes the foundation for lasting change.
