We desire to make disciples of young men and women by allowing them a space to encounter God and cultivate a deeper relationship with God.

Our Location

Our Cultivate programmes are hosted at The Ark: Ministry and Conference Center outside of Te Awamutu in the Central Waikato, New Zealand. 

During our programmes, Students will live in a room with a Counsellor giving them ample time for personal, one-on-one discipleship and accountability. Each dormitory fits on average four people: one Counsellor and three Students. Each morning, Students will have morning devotions with their Counsellor.

Student life

Meals are served promptly in the dining room three times a day where Students will eat meals together with our Staff. Students will share in the responsibility of setting up for and cleaning up after meals.

In between scheduled events, Students are free to enjoy our campus. They can play volleyball or enjoy other sports around the campus grounds. Students can also play ping-pong or board games in the Student lounge!

We have a Snack Shack onsite which will be open daily; Students can purchase snacks, drinks and our Cultivate merchandise. This is a great space for Students to hangout and relax with one another!

Both laundry facilities and WIFI are available for Student use.
