Broken Arrow Ranch has been an incredible blessing to our conference since its purchase in 1970 through its impact on young people and its year-round ministry of retreats and gatherings. More than a camp, Broken Arrow Ranch has become a sacred space where God consistently meets people in meaningful and life-changing ways.
Summer camp stands at the heart of this legacy. Each year, Broken Arrow Ranch fills with the energy and hope of young people encountering God away from the distractions of everyday life. For many students, camp at the Ranch marks the first time their faith becomes personal. Decisions to follow Christ, moments of deep worship, healing conversations, and calls into ministry have unfolded in cabins, around campfires, and during powerful services. These experiences continue to shape lives long after summer ends.
Beyond summer camp, Broken Arrow Ranch blesses our conference throughout the entire year. Retreats, leadership training, and ministry meetings held on the grounds provide space for renewal, vision, and unity. Pastors, leaders, and volunteers can step away, refocus, and be refreshed spiritually. The peaceful environment fosters prayerful discernment, honest conversation, and strengthened relationships.
The natural beauty creates an atmosphere that invites reflection and openness to God’s presence. Whether hosting energetic youth events or quieter retreats, Broken Arrow Ranch offers a setting that supports both spiritual growth and genuine community. Its staff and leadership consistently serve with excellence, hospitality, and a heart for ministry, making every gathering feel intentional and well cared for.
Broken Arrow Ranch has become a place of continuity and faithfulness, a place we return to again and again because of the fruit it bears. We are deeply grateful for the year-round blessing it has been, shaping young lives, strengthening leaders, and supporting the ongoing work God is doing among us.
