A ribbon cutting has been scheduled to open the newest and one of the largest exhibits at the Ark Encounter, “Why the Bible is True.”
With exceptional artwork, this 2,500-square-foot display takes visitors into the pages of a graphic novel as they follow three college students who explore questions about the truth of the Bible, and are given answers to questions like: why is there death and suffering in this world?
Composed of 11 scenes, the sprawling exhibit takes up a large section of the bow end of the Ark’s third deck. The realistic and cutting-edge art style highlights important questions that many young people encounter.
Ken Ham, president and founder of Answers in Genesis (AiG), a biblical apologetics ministry operating both the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in Petersburg, will host the Ribbon Cutting, as well as feature it on Facebook Live.
Joining him will be AiG co-founders Mike Zovath and Mark Looy.
“The gospel will be presented clearly and tastefully in this exceptional exhibit, and in a way that’s understandable to our secularized culture,” Ham said of the new exhibit. “We’ve never hidden the fact at AiG that our main purpose as a ministry is to present the truth of God’s Word. Of course, we are not forcing it on guests. AiG just presents the clear gospel message.”
The ribbon-cutting will take place on the bow end of Deck 3 at 1 p.m.
The Ark Encounter has continued to see strong attendance since its grand opening this past July, including 3,000 guests last Saturday in the off season. The 510-foot-long Ark, located off I-75 at exit 154 in Williamstown, will expand opening hours for Spring and Summer seasons, remaining open until 7 p.m. through May 31, and until 9 p.m. through Aug. 31.
Additional park expansions will be announced later this Spring.
Ark Encounter
The first 2 weeks of June we have a children’s sports blast at our church, we keep over 250 kids daily from 8 to 5 … We do daily bus trips to various places that will help teach on our Bible lesson of the day.. we would love to bring all the kids one day to the ark… 250 plus kids and around 50 adults… It’s all free to the kids. They love it… But I myself at been to the ark twice already and I loved it each time… What would it cost us to bring the kids and helpers…. Cheap as we can get them in…. Thank you Alice Watkins from Crossroads Fellowship Church in Berea KY… 859-302-2945
