What is Fertile Ground Ranch?

Fertile Ground Ranch Discipleship Ministry (FGR) was launched out of a burden to help people who have come out of a difficult past or an addictive lifestyle and who feel called to devote their lives to Jesus Christ and His Church.  We are driven by the Great Commission of Christ: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..., teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  (Matthew 28:19-20)

Why is there a need for discipleship?

  • Because we are commanded to make disciples.
  • Because biblical discipleship is virtually nonexistent in many of today’s churches.
  • Because of the absence of the knowledge of God, His Word and His salvation in our society.
  • Because the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Fertile Ground Ranch is committed to teaching men and women to put on discipleship as a lifestyle. This was and is the plan of Jesus: that the gospel would spread to all nations through his disciples. As Paul instructed Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2: "You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others."

What does that look like at FGR? It involves deep biblical learning, loving and serving our brothers and sisters, and developing a commitment to make more disciples.

We welcome all who want to pursue a life as Christ's disciple.

The FGR Farm is a peaceful place for renewal and growth.

The home of Fertile Ground Ranch is an 18-acre farm in picturesque Brown County, Indiana.  It is ideally suited to tranquility, spiritual growth, and focus on the teachings of Jesus Christ as given to us in God's Holy Word.
