Mission Statement
Shekinah Ranch is a place of restoration and renewal for missionaries, pastors, and other full-time Christian workers who need rest.

Large number of missionaries never return to the mission field after their first furlough back home because they are too tired and burned out. Hundreds of pastors leave ministry each month because of stress and pressure. So many wasted years of preparation and crashed dreams and hopes! But more importantly, so many devastated lives! All these people felt a calling of God on their lives but did not have enough support and care to continue. Our heart is to fill that need by offering a place for rest.

We have 105 acres at 8,600 feet, in the Colorado Rockies, about 60 miles northwest of Denver. Seventy percent of the land is forest, and the rest beautiful alpine meadows. Little Cabin Creek runs through the property, to a catch-and-release fishing pond. Elk, deer, moose, foxes and coyotes reside in the area.

Our desire is to share the beauty and blessing that God has given us, with those who have grown weary on the battlefield. Each cabin will be built out of sight from others. We envision no programs.

We want Shekinah Ranch to be a place of rest, renewal, restoration and vision for people in Christian ministry; a place where those in the fires of the front lines can withdraw from the battle to be in the presence of God. The beauty, peace and majesty of God manifested through nature at this location is it's prime asset. Those using Shekinah Ranch will find a place of rest in the Lord: "...and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing" (1. Kings 19:23b NAS). The solitude provided is conducive to study of the Word, prayer and meditation.

As these people spend time with God, they will find peace and new strength, and will be renewed in their vision. They will be able to face life's challenges and return to the ministry. People they minister to will be blessed. Shekinah, the presence of God's glory will thus spread from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the ends of the earth!
