Testimonials
"Ark's "Build to Minister" program...is an excellent program for those churches that need a building but have problems getting bank financing. The "Build to Minister" program helps finance and builds the facilities that the church needs, and...the church is able to lease the facility until such time as they qualify for a loan."
Dr. Lee Dittman, Director
Liberty Baptist Fellowship, Lynchburg, VA
"Our experience has been excellent. ...provides great attention to details and is focused on customer satisfaction."
Dr. Norman Peart, Pastor
Grace Bible Fellowship, Cary, NC
"Many churches across America are meeting in store fronts and rented facilities. Ark's "Build to Minister" program is a unique and exciting program designed to aid churches that need new facilities, but are having problems getting the bank financing that they deserve. Arks, Inc. will also assist the church in purchasing the building at the earliest opportunity, using conventional financing."
Charles T. Shoemaker, Executive Vice President
Trinity Baptist College, Jacksonville, FL
"The biggest selling point for me, as a pastor, was ARKS desire to retain unity for the church through the entire project…their desire is to see the church not just maintain unity during this time of building, but actually see the church grow and celebrate all that God is doing in their midst. I can tell you that our church has done just that. We are unified and God is adding to our number regularly."
Phillip Hamm, Pastor
Turner Memorial Baptist Church, Garner, NC
"Arks helped us define what we wanted and needed and could afford. They have helped us in determining what needed to be done, or not done, and when. Arks has been a much needed guide, reference resource, and stress reducer."
Allen Patterson, President of the Board of Trustees
Clayton Community Church, Clayton, NC
“Arks’ approach to developing the building program has a strong basis in unifying the Body and meeting ministry objectives. We believe now that the plan we have represents the wishes of not just our leadership, but the congregation as a whole.”

“The persistent spiritual focus of the ministry adopted by the Arks staff testifies to their goal of bringing glory to God in all they do. As such, the scope of what they offer ministers to more than just earth bound activities but rather the spirit of the God centered organizations and the individuals they serve.”
Gregg Powers, Building Subcommittee Member
Denver Church of Christ, Denver CO
