Well, it’s finally time! After months of preparation, the world’s largest Christian music festival kicks off today at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY. We’ve been hosting this event for several years now, and it continues to grow, with artists such as Crowder, Big Daddy Weave, and Matthew West attending this year. And you can join us for just the cost of Ark admission! The event takes place over 40 days—we call it 40/40 (based on the 40 days and nights of rain at the time of the flood).

This event is more than just a music festival. It’s an opportunity for us to gather with other believers to praise the Lord and proclaim the gospel message.

This event is more than just a music festival. It’s an opportunity for us to gather with other believers to praise the Lord and proclaim the gospel message. Yes, each day of the festival, we present the gospel message—last year, over 2,500 people responded. Praise the Lord! Please pray that the Lord will continue to work in the hearts of those who attend this year (and please bring your unbelieving friends and family!).

I encourage you to make plans to attend and enjoy music from those I mentioned above, along with:

  • Katy Nichole
  • Jordan Feliz
  • Charity Gayle
  • Cochren & Company
  • Triumphant
  • Karen Peck & New River
  • Gold City
  • The Inspirations
  • Brian Free & Assurance
  • Ernie Haase & Signature Sound
  • The Isaacs
  • And many more!

Concerts take place at the Ark Encounter each day and on select days at the Creation Museum, and each concert is included with daily admission (an Annual Bouncer Pass allows you to attend as many concerts as you’d like, plus enjoy admission for a year!).

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
