WELCOME TO THE NEW ARK UCC!
The New Ark United Church of Christ is an inclusive and friendly congregation dedicated to being open to persons of every age, race, sexual orientation, ability and religious background. We are a faith community that values diversity, respects freedom of thought and celebrates the gifts that each person brings to the table. We value individual growth in our faith journeys, offering worship and Christian education to all ages.
We are dedicated to God's call to "do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God," reaching out with compassion and service to those suffering injustice or who are in need in our community and throughout the world. We strive to live peacefully, love fully, and act as faithful stewards of the physical and spiritual universe. [LEARN MORE]

WHAT'S NEW: During Black History Month, Adult Christian Education at the New Ark will focus on the history of racism in America. The four-part series will examine interrelated and dependent strands that have shaped the early history of racism all the way to contemporary manifestations of racism, reflecting on the ways in which racism continues to manifest itself in our everyday lives. Scheduled topics are: 1492-1790: European Colonialism and U.S. Nation Building, Feb. 5; 1790-1954: U.S. Apartheid, Colonialism, and Neocolonialism, Feb. 12; 1954-1973: Movement Time: From Overt to Covert, Feb. 19; 1973-Present: Post-Movement Time: Racism Redefined, Feb. 29. For more info., call 302.737.4711.

EXPLORING MEMBERSHIP: As we welcome newcomers and visitors to the New Ark, we offer opportunities to get to know the church better. One of those opportunities is an Exploring Membership class where newcomers gather to hear stories about the New Ark, collect information, ask questions, and enjoy getting to know more about the people, the mission and ministry of the NAUCC. On Sunday, Feb. 12 at 11am, newcomers and those who might be interested in joining, are invited to attend.
GOING GREEN: In February 2010 the New Ark installed several solar panels atop the roof of our church. Capable of generating 7,900 watts of electricity at peak level, the panels have helped to prevent tons of harmful carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere, reduce the building's electric bill, and earned Renewable Energy Credits along the way. The New Ark is dedicated to helping the environment, and as an Earthwise congregation, we strive to reduce global warming pollution by seeking out and implementing alternative and sustainable energy technologies.
