| Target Population |
|
| Mustard Seed Ranch serves a variety of people from kids to adults. Our day programs are geared toward children 12-18 years old who may live in group homes or foster care. We also provide residential care for adults from OCRM’s New Life Program. A growing focus is for “transitional young adults” 18-30 years old, who spend one year using “Wild at Heart” principals to help them “get their hearts back.” |

Philosophy
|
|
| MSR is a “Wild at Heart” experience utilizing the curriculum of Scripture, Ransomed Heart literature and time-proven community life in an individualized, goal oriented treatment plan. Pastoral care is provided on a real working ranch in a nurturing environment. Educational, vocational, and spiritual needs are addressed in a setting promoting physical well being. MSR treats the whole person as they get their heart back. |
|
|
Methods
|
|
|
| MSR uses a Christ-centered approach with individual needs in mind. There is no “one size fits all” method for helping diverse populations. Horses are a big part of MSR’s programs. Exercises designed to develop relationships and trust while working with horses are a major component of the day programs for group homes. Residents of MSR provide the daily care for the horses and other animals. A dining commons provides fellowship in a family setting. Chapel services and group counseling combine with Wild at Heart concepts to provide a balance of ministry to the spirit, mind, and body. |
