The Ark has been a ministry in Panama City Beach for more than 40 years. Noah’s Ark was formed as a retreat center for The Alabama West Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church. We are now called just “The Ark”, and we have converted both our facilities and our programming to meet new needs in our community. Since 2012, we have been developing 2 new ministry directives: a coffee shop & international student housing. We are committed to combatting human trafficking in our area! Thousands of people have been impacted by the ministry of The Ark over the years, and we look forward to continuing this legacy by providing new connections to our community.
