The Ranch's Programs

Home Life

At Manasseh Oaks Ranch, each child will live in a single-family home with a mother and father figure, with up to 5 siblings from similar backgrounds. They will be surrounded by acres of natural landscape, accompanied by private and secured entrances to the residential areas for maximum safety. Each child will be taught Christian values and biblical theology, along with valuable life skills through working on the ranch. All will participate in community events and share in responsibilities based on age and physical capabilities to create work ethics and teach social skills.

Education

The children will attend Grand Saline public schools as a standard, but we will provide home school as an exception based upon needs. Tutoring from staff and volunteers will be a standard everyday option for each child. The local school system is in full support of our mission and will provide transportation and other services as needs arise.

Therapy

Counseling services will be provided by local on-staff counselors, local churches, child service organizations, senior citizen engagement program, and animal therapy specialists. Our aim is to utilize God’s design of family and the body of Christ in the church to provide the natural development of children. In the case of special needs and/or trauma care, we will have staff trained and if needed dedicated to those children in need of critical care needs.

Local school and recreational league athletic activities
Onsite water sports such as kayaking, fishing, and swimming
