At Rising Hope Rescue Ranch, we are committed to glorifying God through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, and the truth of Scripture. Our ranch is a place of hope, healing, and restoration, where all who seek to serve Christ are welcomed to partner in ministry.
Our Why…
What we believe determines what we do and shapes how we do it.
We exist to glorify God in all we do.
Our ultimate purpose is to honor God through our words, actions, and stewardship. Whether caring for the animals, mentoring individuals, or cultivating a space for healing, we seek to reflect His love and bring glory to His name.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
Jesus Christ is Lord, our source of healing and restoration.
We believe that Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, is the Savior of the world and the only source of true healing and restoration. His life, death, and resurrection offer redemption, and His love compels us to serve others with compassion and grace.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
The Bible is the authoritative and inspired Word of God.
We believe the Bible is the living and inspired Word of God, guiding us in faith, life, and ministry. It is the foundation for our beliefs and the lens through which we discern truth.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” – Psalm 119:105
Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ.
We affirm that salvation is a gift of grace received through faith in Jesus Christ. It is freely given by God to all who believe. As followers of Christ, our faith is expressed in a life of love, holiness, and service.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” – Ephesians 2:8
The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live transformed lives.
We believe the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer, enabling us to live out our faith, pursue holiness, and bear witness to Christ. Through His power, we are strengthened to serve, love, and reflect the character of Jesus.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8
We are stewards of God’s creation and gifts.
God has entrusted us with His creation, and we are called to care for the land, animals, and people in a way that reflects His love and purpose. Stewardship is not just responsibility—it is an act of worship.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” – Psalm 24:1
Worship and service are central to our faith.
We believe we are created to worship God and serve others. Our acts of kindness, love, and ministry are expressions of our devotion to Christ and evidence of His transforming work in our lives.
“Serve one another humbly in love.” – Galatians 5:13
We welcome all believers to join us in ministry.
Rising Hope Rescue Ranch is a place where Christians from diverse traditions can unite in common faith and mission. We affirm the unity of the body of Christ and invite all who love Jesus to partner with us in ministry.
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” – Ephesians 4:4-5
