The Ranch was founded in 2018 by Chuck and Jennifer Hynek that came from a dream that the Lord placed on their hearts after discovering Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch in Bend, Oregon.
LOA stands for “Love One Another” and finds its roots in John 13:34: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (NIV). Jesus’ command for his disciples to love others as He had loved them, even to the cross, is at the heart of our programming and community. LOA Youth Ranch truly strives to be, above all else, a community of people who love one another well for the glory of Jesus Christ.
We are so glad you’ve found us. We hope that you come and spend some time here. Wherever you are from, whatever you are looking for, whoever you are – you are welcome to come laugh, love, learn and journey with us at The Ranch.
