Rev. Michael T. Bell became the seventh pastor to take the helm of leadership at Little Ark Baptist Church. Dr. Bell was formerly installed to office of Pastor on November 15, 1992. Pastor Bell exemplified a heart of passion to move “The Ark” further with a vision for ministry outside of the sacred walls of Little Ark. He was pastor and servant-leader for six years. In 1999, God saw the need of His people, and called strong hand to take the helm. The Rev. Dr. Ben Jones along with his First Lady Mary Parnell-Jones received and accepted the command from God to step into the leadership role at Little Ark. Their leadership has continued to take the church where God has destined it to be. “The Ark”, this “Living Epistle” has been blessed by God with great leaders who help guide it through many storms. In 2006, Little Ark celebrates 130 years of God divine favor upon a people who started from a humble beginning, but with a great vision. That vision is still alive today and carried in the hearts and minds of a community of believers who know that with God all things are possible. “The Ark continues to be a beacon of hope to the community, a lighthouse to the lost and the hopeless who are seeking a place of safety.
