Our Support Ministry Teams play a vital role in advancing the mission of Big Oak Ranch. Big Oak Cattle, ASCEND, Planting Oaks, and Westbrook Christian School provide essential resources, guidance, and opportunities that strengthen and sustain the long-term success of the young lives we serve.
Big Oak Cattle
Drew Jackson, Big Oak Cattle Director
“Big Oak Cattle exists to supply Big Oak Ranch with top quality red meat while providing an environment for our kids to work, heal, grow, and learn. P21, our horsemanship program, exists to provide our kids with the opportunity to learn to ride and care for horses, regain trust, and pursue Jesus.”

ASCEND
Kelli Croyle, ASCEND Director
“Life is full of climbs. Some are more challenging than others, and making the transition from dependency to true independence is certainly one of those. ASCEND provides not only guidance to our young adults as they embark on a chosen pathway to further their education but also life preparation so they can step into adulthood more equipped to navigate the climbs and identify the path God has prepared for them.”
