The Ark is being constructed to the specifications of Noah's original Ark--450 feet (300 cubits) long, 75 feet wide,(50 cubits) and 45 feet (30 cubits) high. To give you a better idea of what that will look like--Imagine a structure one and half football fields long and three stories high!
over 3,000 tons of cement have been poured to support this structure.
Once completed, the Ark will house a Christian school, Bible college, 1,500 seat auditorium, conference facilities, a Noah's Ark historical room, counseling center, and facilities for radio and television.
The work on this massive task was started on Easter Sunday, April 18, 1976, when groundbreaking ceremonies were held at the Ark site. At that time, Pastor Greene and his congregation dug only a few shovels full of dirt. On September 3rd of that same year, five bulldozers took over to dig the hole for the foundational structure.
Once completed, the Ark will house a Christian school, Bible college, 1,500 seat auditorium, conference facilities, a Noah's Ark historical room, counseling center, and facilities for radio and television.
