Each home on the Boys’ Ranch includes a loving, Christian couple, who serve as Mom and Dad, and as many as eight siblings of differing ages. Everything we do is designed to help these future men understand the love of family. For many boys, this is the first real home they’ve ever known.

Like any family, the families of Big Oak Ranch are buzzing with activity. Our children are involved in selected activities that match their gifts and offer opportunities to succeed in life. They are involved with on-Ranch activities like Big Oak Cattle and our P21 equine program; some have jobs in the community. In everything they do, our houseparents are investing in their children’s futures by modeling and teaching the love and commitment of family.

Here, our boys find the guidance they need to grow into responsible, godly men. We teach them discipline and structure as well as the value of a strong work ethic. They develop a sense of responsibility and accountability to themselves and to their families. They discover God’s plan for their lives and the support they need to pursue it.
