About Us
Our Values – Who We Are
We recognise God’s sovereignty over all (Psalm 103 v19) and we are in awe of His grace towards us (Romans 5 v6-11)
We are to be a light to the world, glorifying God through the way we live our lives (Matthew 5 v14-16)
We are intentional and deliberate about reaching people with the “gospel of God” (Romans 1 v1)
We are committed to the authority of the Bible, learning from it and teaching what it says ( 2 Timothy 3 v16-17)
We seek more of the Holy Spirit in our personal lives and in our meetings together
Our Story
-
2010
Beginnings
The Ark Church started in 2010 when Steve & Ruth Hurd felt God calling them to leave York City Church, which they had planted in 2000, to start a new church plant in Huddersfield. They joined up with a team of people from all over the UK, including Liam & Amy Bunce from York (via Liverpool) and Jay & Julie Patel from Brighton.

Our Vision
Our Vision was to plant a church that would reach out to those outside of the church and to plant new churches in and around West Yorkshire.

Ark Church Halifax
Matt and Sharon Cameron and family moved to Halifax in 2013 where there was about 20 people meeting regularly, all with a heart to see God grow our small gathering into a church that would serve Halifax and reach out to anyone and everyone with the good news that Jesus loves them personally.
The Ark Church Halifax started meeting every Sunday on Easter Sunday, 27th March 2016

The best way to try out and become a part of The Ark Church family is to start to come along to our Sunday meetings. We have been told time and time again that we are very friendly! You will soon get to know other members of the family and get invited along to other family groups and events. Come and join us.
