Welcome to Pinehaven Christian Ranch

Experience-Led Discipleship for Young Adults

Pinehaven Christian Ranch is a Christ-centered ministry walking alongside young people ages 18–24 during a critical season of faith and life. Through meaningful work on a working ranch, intentional discipleship, and community, students grow in confidence, character, and a deeper relationship with Christ.

Standing in the Gap

Many young adults are asking big questions:

  • What’s next?
  • Where do I belong?
  • How do faith and work fit together?

Pinehaven stands in the gap, giving young people space to grow, find purpose, and follow Christ through hands-on discipleship and community. For over 50 years, we’ve helped students build lasting foundations through meaningful work, faith, and shared life together.

The Gap Programs

This is the heart of our ministry

The Gap Programs connect faith, work, and purpose through daily life on the ranch. Students develop:

  • A stronger relationship with Christ
  • Confidence, responsibility, and work ethic
  • Practical trade and life skills
  • Clarity for what comes next

Learning by Doing

At Pinehaven, discipleship happens through real work. Students learn practical skills through ranch projects, trade experiences, and teamwork—discovering strengths they may not have known they had.

Work becomes a place where faith is practiced, character is formed, and purpose takes shape.

Program Pathways

The Explorer Program

An 8-week introduction, Explorer is the starting point—designed to help students explore faith, develop confidence, and discover next steps through hands-on learning and discipleship.

The Apprentice Program

For students who feel called to continue, the Apprentice Program offers deeper training, increased responsibility, and extended discipleship—preparing young adults for life, vocation, and service.
