At the Genesis Ark Project, we welcome young men to experience the “Ark Encounter” to grow in their faith, to learn how to defend their faith and to bring the “seekers” of their generation back to the faith. We want them to experience the four levels of world-class exhibits that unite the Ark of the Bible with the 21st Century.
About Us
How it all Started
“On August 26, 2024, I found myself suspended in midair from a Hoyer at the Mary Free Bed Hospital in Lansing. Realizing that I might never walk again, yet blessed with my full mental faculties, I had a profound epiphany, akin to Paul’s experience on the road to Damascus.
My road would involve working with my wife, friends, family, caregivers, and the church community to send young men to experience the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, to have a faith-affirming experience similar to mine.
Blessed with the Genesis ARK Project board that was formed in 2024, the board got behind the project - Mission accomplished: on August 5th, 2025, six young men participated in the Genesis ARK pilot project.
The enthusiasm of the young men in the video after touring the ARK inspired our board to continue the project for 2027 and, God willing, every year after that!”
