Kingdom Gift 2025:
We invite you to prayerfully consider making a financial gift to the ARC through our Kingdom Gift program which will be used for operational expenses, helping the ARC maintain its dedicated staff and continue the daily ministry that allows guests to “Come Away and Rest Awhile”. You may send a check written to the ARC with ‘Kingdom Gift 2025’ on the memo line or you may call the ARC and use a credit card. Thank you for your faithfulness and partnership in this ministry!
