5Rock Ranch

I just can never say enough wonderful things about 5 Rock Ranch and all the wonderful people there that help God's lost sheep. My son was one of those lost sheep and until he found the Ranch I didn't know if he would be alive for many more days. He has been there 9 months now and it is amazing the difference in him since he has accepted the Lord into his life. I will always be eternally grateful and supportive of the Ranch. God Bless you all !!

This ministry is unique in its operation, values and family model. There is no other place quite like it. It exists for a specific purpose, and when operating in its special design, is honestly crucial to people’s lives, their growth, and their healing. This place exists to lift up the hurting and those who have made bad decisions, to point them in the direction of Jesus. They provide spiritual nourishment as well as daily nourishment. 5 Rock welcomes those in, who others say are too far gone. The hopeless find hope there. The broken find healing. The lost find the unconditional love of Christ! It’s a dated space, to live in nature and be restored back to the love of the Father, when life has beat you down. It’s heaven on earth.

Let me start by saying I am not a client of the 5 rock ranch. I am however a woman with 21 years clean who has been through struggles in life and I am watching firsthand how 5 ROCK RANCH affects and neglects the families of the people who are seeking help there. Please be clear THIS IS NOT A 12 STEP PROGRAM this is a place for “Strays” to hide from their responsibilities, learn to make excuses for their past without taking any accountability, and in the process of all of this they do it under the name of God! I know someone who was mandated to go there and his family. He went there to get help for addiction and anger. He has been there three years and has not once made an attempt to make amends to his now ex-wife or his three he young daughters. This ranch does not support family reunification, it does not Teach a 12 step program and in my opinion it’s just a way for them to get free labor while making people who probably shouldn’t be so comfortable, comfortable with the wrongs they have done. Yes they present themselves as a place for people to get well however I have watched firsthand a father hide out at this ranch as a “volunteer” for three years while teach a 12 step program and in my opinion it’s just a way for them to get free labor while making people who probably shouldn’t be so comfortable, comfortable with the wrongs they have done. PS they present themselves as a place for people to get well however I have watched first hand a father hide out at this ranch as a “volunteer“ for three years while his ex wife struggles to keep a roof over his daughters head. At one point the state attempted to serve Child Support papers and somehow they could not locate him at the ranch.... his daughter asked him when he would come home and he told her “my number one priority is God, and once I feel I am strong enough with my faith, then I will be able to love you, and be your father!“ This is after his daughter just asked him when he would be coming home and why he has chosen to stay there so long. In my opinion they take broken people and rebuild them under the name oh God but in the process of doing that they make sure to completely separate them from their families and if they do spend time with their families they are supervise the whole time. His ex-wife is treated like trash when she tries to call there, they have never once suggested or encouraged family counseling! No matter what they are a family divorced or not and his ex-wife has shown no anger or malice towards them at anytime she is just trying to coparent but they will not allow him to interact with her. The only visitation is if his daughters come up to see him. And the last time they were there mind you it’s an hour away from where their home is, they brought the girls home an hour and a half late without a call or a response we tried to call numerous numbers and nothing! People who have been living a life of turmoil are supposed to go here to learn responsibility! But when the head of the ranch FINALLY responded AFTER the girls were home safely, they took no responsibility they just said “Well it’s not like this hasn’t happened from the other end, let’s not turn this into a Jerry Springer show“ !!!!!!! Seriously!!!!! Not in I’m sorry or we made a mistake, there was not a single phone line that was answered during that hour and a half of turmoil their mother went through worrying that everybody might be hurt. The ranch also told me next time “dial 911 not in I’m sorry or we made a mistake, there was not a single phone line that was answered during that hour and a half of turmoil their mother went through worrying that everybody might be hurt. The ranch also told me next time “dial 911 if you’re really worried about their safety“ seriously? Instead of just making a simple phone call when you are running late You decide the solution is to waste a police officer’s time when they could be doing something more important, because you don’t feel like answering one of your many Phone numbers?

My friend and I drove up there just to get away from things and were met with "this is private property" and we needed to leave. There were no signs indicating this or else I would not have parked over there and proceeded to get out of my car, because I know just from living far out in the middle of nowhere you dont cross that line. They did not seem very "godly" to me.
