Lama and sheep

A typical day here at The Father's Ranch includes a healthy balance of hard work, bible study, prayer, one on one discipleship, organized group activities and limited free time. The work includes caring for farm animals, cutting wood, gardening, canning, maintenance, food preparation, house keeping and community service projects. The work is necessary to provide for the needs of The Father's Ranch, but also provides students with real life examples of biblical principals.

The Father's Ranch seeks to help young ladies make life-long changes that are healthy and pleasing to God. Here are some of the specifics that make our program(s) distinct:

Christ-Centered: We believe a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (regeneration) is the foundation on which all true change is achieved. All true biblical counseling must be evangelical first. Therefore, we strongly encourage each resident to have a vibrant and practical walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible-Based: The Father's Ranch is structured to give our residents many opportunities to both learn and apply Biblical truth as it relates to a variety of topics through Biblically focused classes, personal Bible study, individualized biblical counseling, personal devotions, and prayer time. We believe that God's Word is the change agent that renews the mind and subsequently changes behaviors.

Personalized: For each young lady at TFR, a wide range of individualized choices is presented and examined so she can begin working through problems and setting attainable goals for the future.

Loving Environment: Staff and volunteers compassionately serve young ladies in a loving home-like environment to help them understand more fully the love of God in every day situations.

Structured Care: Young ladies have opportunities to learn to live disciplined lives through the program's daily structure of classes, study halls, servant opportunities, and specific times devoted to physical fitness, discipleship relationships, and individualized Biblical Counseling.

Individualized Graduation: Because each young lady's progress is so unique, TFR will have the opportunity to celebrate each resident's graduation as an individual event based on the amount of time in the program the staff feels is necessary. The average resident may expect to spend between 6-12 months in our program.
