Welcome
Hello, my name is Michael Hiles, Pastor of ARK Community Church. The ARK would
like to welcome you and your family to our fellowship. We pray and endeavor to glorify
God and strengthen the bond of Christian unity through fellowship with God the Father,
Christ the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Founded in July of 2024, the ARK Community Church strives to love God with all our
heart, soul, mind, and strength; to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to proclaim the
gospel of Jesus Christ to all we encounter. The ARK affirms the historic Christian faith
as expressed in the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation and adheres to the
ancient statements of faith found in the Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed.
About the Pastor
I am the husband to my lovely wife, Samantha, and the father to our four wonderful
children - Anderson “Sunny”, Finn, Jude, and Rosie. I received my Bachelor’s in
Pastoral Ministries in 2005 from Valley Forge Christian College (Valley Forge University)
and then, in 2008, a master’s in education from Regent University in Virginia. I was an
educator for almost 15 years, as well as a contractor/entrepreneur. In the summer of
2024, God led me and the current members of our Administrative Council to establish
the ARK Community Church.
It is with the warmest welcome that I invite you to worship with us at the ARK. I believe
this church is a loving and caring family of believers. If you want to participate in
practical biblical study, authentic worship, loving fellowship, sound preaching, and
meaningful ministry – ARK Community Church may be the place for you. Our
commitment is that God will be glorified and you will be welcomed with open arms. I
look forward to meeting you!
