Animal Lovers

Animal ministry has been around since the very first time a human being felt connected to an animal. We are taught by God that we, as humans, are stewards of the wonders of His creation. It is a serious responsibility, and with it can come great joy and self-discovery.

At Noah's Ark Animal Lovers we hold Bible study, share experiences about our pets, participate in animal rescue, take pet ministry into nursing homes, pray together, offer one another support and become involved in periodic service projects at animal shelters, rescue organizations and animal care centers.
