Ark Church is an English-speaking church in the heart of Seoul, established in October 2023. We exist to be a spiritual home for third-culture sojourners- those navigating life between cultures, seasons, and callings.
In a world marked by transience, Ark is a place to center your soul, cultivate wholehearted faith, and be equipped to follow Jesus anywhere.
Whether you're passing through Korea, staying for a season, or planting roots long-term, we believe God has brought you here to realign, to grow, and to be sent.
Thank you for your generous contributions toward seeing Ark grow into a healthy and vibrant churchplant in the heart of Seoul.

God bless you
If you'd like to read our why:
Why We Exist
ARK Church exists for the in-between. For the displaced, the rootless, the globally mobile, and the third-culture generation trying to make sense of faith and identity in a world that doesn’t stand still.
Seoul is a place where the world passes through.
We are a church that says: you belong here, even if you’re
just passing through.
We aren’t trying to be everything for everyone.
We are focused: to build leaders, culture, and spiritual
depth in a context where few expect permanence.
But God meets people in movement, and ARK is where that happens.
Why It Matters
Most international churches are temporary
shelters.
ARK is a spiritual home and a
launchpad.
We aren’t building hype or hiding from hard truths.
We walk with people in the middle of the mess, the move, the
miracle.
We don’t exist just to gather people. We exist to send
them out better - rooted in Christ and ready to lead.
Why We Need You
We need visionary partners who don’t just give to needs- they
give to what could be.
ARK is still young. We’re not backed by a denomination or
mega-church network.
But we have a deep call, real fruit, and a
growing family.
When you give to ARK, you help us:
-
Raise pastoral staff and leadership support (no one has been on full-time payroll since pre-launch Aug 2022-Aug 2025)
-
Build long-term space for worship, prayer, and discipleship
-
Disciple internationals and third-culture leaders
-
Create tools and models for church planting and spiritual formation
-
Provide care for families, students, and professionals in transition
You make it possible for this vision to last beyond a season and into generations. We anticipate that we can be a thriving churchplant that is self-sustaining after year 3.
Thank you once again for your generous contributions toward seeing Ark grow into a healthy and vibrant churchplant in the heart of Seoul.
