Overview

Mission

Today, 5Rock Ranch is a place where God connects with people who are facing unimaginable pain and struggle... We love on them and offer them our five Rs: Refuge, Respite, Rescue, Retreat, and Residence. We have a small full-time team of workers who live onsite, meeting the daily needs of our guests, our residents, and the ranch's infrastructure. They provide ministry leadership, ranch administration, facilities management, donation & cooking oversight, and personal ministry to our residents. Currently, Scott and Christy, along with the team shown below, serve full-time. We also have missionaries and volunteers who serve for shorter lengths of time; a day, a month, a summer, or longer. 0F324F1B-F1E5-404C-A0F7-4D58176247C6.jpeg.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2023 5Rock Ranch was able to come alongside single moms and kids and help them finish up homeschooling and integrate back to public schools in the fall. We were able to focus on Biblical and practical parenting, heart changes that lead to behavioral changes, and valuable life skills. For single moms and other adults, we were able to provide a safe & beautiful place for respite & personal retreats. We were able to come alongside several churches for retreats as well. We were blessed to work with couples and also have a few weddings here as we focused on healthy marriages and families. Along with the above, we had the privilege of speaking to and spending time with men about turning fathers hearts toward their children and connecting with young men in a personal way to fill in the gaps for the father missing in their lives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
