Agape Ranch offers its program completely free of charge. The Ranch depends on those who believe in the hope poured through this ministry and makes donations to support the children and families who come. We are deeply blessed by our incredible family of donors who have committed funds to support what the Lord is doing in and through this Ranch.

Who We Serve

Our mission is to provide hope and healing for children and teens who are facing mental health challenges. Agape Ranch sessions are rooted in faith, giving the opportunity to connect with animals, engage in daily chores, spend time outdoors and enjoy physical activity all while reconnecting with themselves and the world around them. Through structured, relationship-based interactions with horses and trusted adult mentors, participants build emotional regulation, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where youth can develop resilience, strengthen relationships, and experience a renewed sense of hope and belonging.

Agape Ranch is designed to serve children and teens who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, or other everyday emotional challenges and who can safely participate in a ranch setting.

Agape Ranch is not a mental health treatment program. Our volunteers and staff are not licensed mental health professionals, and we do not provide therapy, counseling, psychological assessments, or mental health diagnoses. Families are encouraged to maintain any therapeutic or medical services their child may already be receiving while participating in our program.

Because our program is not equipped to provide specialized therapeutic, behavioral, or educational services, we are generally unable to serve children whose primary needs involve developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder requiring significant support, intellectual disabilities, severe behavioral challenges, or other conditions that require specialized clinical care. We encourage families to seek programs specifically designed to meet those needs.

We understand that many children have more than one diagnosis or experience a combination of challenges. Every application is reviewed individually. Our priority is serving children whose primary needs align with the support, mentoring, and experiential learning environment that Agape Ranch provides.

If you believe Agape Ranch may be a good fit for your child, we encourage you to complete an application. We carefully review each application and prayerfully consider every family to determine whether our program is the right fit for your child's needs. We look forward to learning more about your family and the opportunity to serve you.

*please note: In order to participate in any Ranch activities, we require that each child on the property have a current release form signed by their legal guardian. In addition, we require that a parent or guardian is present at the Ranch during each session.
