Our Mission: To be A Refuge for Kids affected by parental incarceration, providing opportunities for them to experience the love of God.
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
ARK Ministries exists to offer support to kids in Fremont County, CO, affected by incarceration by showing them the love of Jesus.
ARK stands for A Refuge for Kids. Just like the ark was a refuge for Noah and his family in the Bible, so we aim to provide a safe place for kids affected by the incarceration of a parent.
We are inspired by Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble." Our goal is to help kids feel God's refuge and love in the storms of life.
By creating a safe place, we allow them to share friendships with others who have similar experiences. Kids have space to express their feelings without judgment and feel loved and valued - no matter the things that have happened in their lives.
We provide a variety of programs, including a Kids' Club that runs twice a month, a summer camp program, and several family events throughout the year.
We would love to have your kids be a part of ARK Ministries!

Safety Is Important To us
Working with children has given us a deep desire to provide the safest environments possible. All staff members pass a rigorous application process, background checks, and complete sexual & physical abuse awareness training before getting approval to help at ARK Ministries programs.
As an affiliate of New Horizons Ministries, we have a deep burden for children affected by incarceration. As a ministry, we have been caring for children affected by incarceration for over thirty years and know the importance of children developing positive relationships with adults and other children.
