Our Story
Since 1974, Big Oak Ranch has provided a loving, Christian home for children who have experienced hardships beyond their years. We have dedicated ourselves to raising children with the hope that they will break the cycle and become productive members of society. Our mission is to share the unconditional love of Jesus and the hope that flows from it, offering children the chance to discover God’s true purpose for their lives.
Our Ministries, Rooted in Hope
We may have started as a Christian home for boys and girls needing safety and security, but we didn’t stop there. When we see an opportunity to better serve our children and our community, we go after it. Each and every ministry at Big Oak Ranch reflects our purpose of sharing the unconditional love of Jesus and the hope that flows from it.
Our Boys’ Ranch provides everything a young boy needs to grow into a responsible, Godly man. With a loving, Christian couple serving as Mom and Dad, this is the first real home many of our boys have ever known.
Our Girls’ Ranch offers a safe, nurturing home for girls who have experienced hardships beyond their years. We provide them with love, support and the opportunity to grow into strong, confident women of faith.
Our children are blessed to receive an exceptional, private education at Westbrook Christian School. It is here they’ll receive the building blocks they need to be warriors for Christ in their rewarding and successful future.
Big Oak Cattle is about more than providing red meat to feed our families. More importantly, it serves as a ministry to help rebuild our children’s trust and confidence. We help them put their skills to work in the service of others.
ASCEND provides a supportive living and learning community for our graduates. With 45,770 square feet of space, it offers the independence and community our ASCENDants need to continue growing and trusting in God’s plan.
We can’t help all the children who need a loving home. But we can equip other organizations to create Christian homes for children in need by sharing the knowledge and experience we’ve gained over the past five decades.

“It was amazing – I haven’t done anything else like it. Being able to ride a horse and carry the American flag at the same time in front of a huge crowd was really thrilling. It was a moment I will never forget!”
