Great American Pure Flix just announced The Ark Club, a new leg of the company that will offer high-quality Christian entertainment for kids.
“The Ark Club is a bold new step in children’s entertainment that is safe, inspiring, and rooted in timeless values. Whether it’s summer break, after-school time, or family weekends, kids and parents deserve content that’s fun, meaningful, and trustworthy, all in one place,” said Great American Pure Flix CEO Bill Abbott.
The Ark Club will feature classic shows like VEGGIE TALES, THE WIGGLES and BOB THE BUILDER along with new shows, including Kirk Cameron’s new kids show IGGY AND MR. KIRK.
“Laugh, learn, sing, and play along with Iggy the Iguana in IGGY AND MR. KIRK,” a synopsis for the show reads. “Watch as Iggy discovers the importance of honesty, forgiveness, bravery, and more! Iggy may not have it all figured out, but thanks to Mr. Kirk, Iggy’s friends, and some great Freedom Island stories, he’ll grow a little more each day.”
The show is inspired by Cameron’s children’s books which all take place on Freedom Island and teach kids life lessons at an age-appropriate level. He hopes his show can continue this work and that the television medium will allow him to impact an even wider audience.

“[IGGY AND MR. KIRK] is so cool because it’s a live-action show. So think of like the timeless, biblical, moral values of MR. ROGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD, only greatly modernized, high energy, with embedded beautiful, animated stories inside,” Cameron said when the show was first announced.
“The power of story is just unbelievably strong, and some of the new studies and articles that I’ve been reading about, it’s unbelievable,” he added. “Numbers of children who are now identifying themselves as either gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, nonbinary, queer, is now up like four thousand percent.”
The creation of The Ark Club furthers Great American Pure Flix’s goal of providing as much high quality Christian content as possible. The network knows that this is what audiences crave, and so they remain committed to bringing it to them.
“There’s a huge blank space in this category and we are focused relentlessly on high quality content that will satisfy the underserved viewer, in a way that entertains and inspires,” Abbott said in fall of 2023. “There’s a lot of content out there that goes in a different direction and we are going to stay in that family, faith and hometown values area.”
Hopefully programming like The Ark Club will begin to catch on and help root our children in biblical morals, rather than allowing them to continue to be swayed by the misguided beliefs that currently plague our society.
