Groups
HouseFires and Impact (HI) Groups exist to disciple the community at The Ark and to multiply the Kingdom through small groups.
Middle East Nights
This group meets in a home to pray and intercede together for believers in Israel and the Middle East. We receive prayer requests from believers in the land and pray over them. We do an 1 1/2 of prayer and then an 1 1/2 of food and fellowship enjoying Middle Eastern dishes that everyone signs up to bring.
Divine Intelligence
This impact group is going on a journey to uncover God’s divine revelations in our region (Job 12:22, Daniel 2:22. Hebrews 4:13) guided by the Holy Spirit (John 16:13) through intercessory prayers and fasting. We will diligently record the insights God reveals to us to piece together the greater picture of His revelation. Throughout the week, we will remain open to what the Lord reveals to us—be it through encounters, dreams, visions, words, or visitations—and assemble these insights to discern the message or direction God is Communicating.
Young Adults – Fun. Fellowship. Fire.
Join our impact group this summer as we gather in various locations throughout our region to strengthen our connection with the Lord, each other, and our community. Expect a season filled with fun, fellowship, and fire. Whether we’re bouncing at SKYZONE or worshiping at Moravian Falls, all are welcome to participate and help ignite the fire wherever we journey.
Kingdom Family Night
In this HouseFire we will be gathering together for worship, prayer, Bible Study, and fellowship.
Rooted 101
Life was never meant to be a solo mission, but God designed it to be done together in community as we behold Him and become like Him. Together we will break bread, study the word, pray, fellowship and live the mission of Christ to bring the gospel of the kingdom everywhere we go. If you would like to learn how to grow in intimacy/knowledge of God, community/accountability and gospel fluency in a laid back family environment – where we will practice, learn and grow together- then we invite you to come! Acts 2:42
Worship/Prayer Room
In this HouseFire we will be reading through the book, Emerging Worship by Roland Worton and discussing the building blocks of worship. We’ll also be taking time as a team to dive into discussions from the book, and worship together as a team outside of services.
Spiritual Slavery to Sonship-Book Study
Everyone is looking for identity and acceptance. Our goal is for you to experience a transformation from spiritual slavery to experience Father God’s love – learning to walk in peace, security, and rest – breaking free from guilt and shame – and beginning to enjoy your spiritual inheritance. We will be reading and studying this book by Jack Frost.
Spiritual Disciplines Study Group
The purpose of our group is to take a deep dive into the inward disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting and study. This interactive study is meant to provide examples that can become part of our daily lives and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and bring the abundance of God into our lives.
Great Commission Discipleship
We will be discipling people in the Great Commission according to Mark 16:15-18. This will be a time of empowering the saints to do exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ has called each and every one of us to do. We are to be the light of the world and not stay in the church building.
Men’s Golf and Talk
Men’s Golf and Talk welcomes both avid and novice golfers alike who come together every other Saturday morning for a blend of fellowship, faith, and fairways. Our gatherings offer a unique opportunity to bond over our shared love for the game while engaging in meaningful discussions about life, faith, and everything in between. Join us as we tee off for camaraderie and conversation on and off the course.
Women’s Walking Group
Our group will welcome all ages of women to come and walk together. Let’s invite our Creator into our fitness life and “do life” better together as women!
Women in Evangelism and Missions
In this Impact Group we will have a focus on activating women with a heart for evangelism and missions. The heart of this group would be that everyone becomes comfortable sharing their faith with others. It will include a prayer focus, a focus on global missions, a book study out of one of Heidi Baker’s training manuals, and going out as a team to evangelize.
Raising Burning Hearts
Calling all women who have a passion for raising up the next generation of radical lovers of God! We will be going through a book together called, Raising Burning Hearts by Patricia Bootsma, which covers topics such as the power of blessing our children, prophetic declarations, and teaching young ones how to hear God’s voice. This group is for those who believe that there is no greater responsibility than to disciple the next generation in the ways of the Lord!
Masculine Identity in Christ
Join us as we take a journey exploring the masculine identity of Jesus. We will go through a book study, watch videos and have dialogue about what it means to serve, love, and minister to those around us. Additional topics we will discuss include sexual purity, what it looks like to burn with the love of Jesus, and learning how to walk with humility. The book we will be discussing is Experiencing Father’s Embrace by Jack Frost.
Ark Youth
Ark Youth HI group exists to create space for the next generation to grow in God! Our gatherings will focus on discipling the next generation through house style gatherings. Our meetings will consist of fellowship, food, worship, teaching, activation, Bible study & more!
50+ Joshua & Caleb Generation
We gather to encourage and empower each other in worship, exhortation, fellowship and prayer and to rededicate our next half-century to the Lord in excited expectation – to be all He has created us to be…for such a time as this. The Lord has put us here at this age and season for His Eternal storyline purposes. We’re not finished…in so many ways we’re just getting started!
We are the present-day Joshuas and Calebs. It’s time to walk in the most fruitful years of our lives.
