Haven Acres offers a safe, country environment where hurting youth find hope, healing, and restoration through their interaction with horses and loving mentors that exhibit the transformational love of Jesus.

Each week during the summer over 60 kids and teens come out to Haven Acres. They get to work one-on-one with a loving mentor and a horse for a weekly 90-minute session. Every week each participant works on chores around the ranch, learns basic horsemanship skills, and learns Bible lessons incorporating the horses in modern-day parables.

All programming is free-of-charge to youth and their families because we want those who need to be here to come, not just those who can afford to come. This is a God-sized ministry and it wouldn't happen without your help. Thank you for your support!

One of our parents this year said, "At Haven Acres my kids have grown closer to God, learned more about themselves and who God created them to be. They feel more at peace within, it helps calm their anxieties, and ease the effects of the trauma in their lives, hearts, minds, and body."

Another parent said, "My child benefitted from Haven Acres this year by experiencing continuity in her mentor relationship, and in what that relationship builds in her. Knowing there is someone there that has walked with her through very hard times has helped her see that she can still trust others and have hope."

One of the participants this year said, "Haven Acres helped me realize that even if I'm scared and I hurt someone the people around me are still there for me."
