Why People Come Here

People come to Vermillion Ranch for simple reasons.
They need to get away for a bit. They need time to think, pray, and talk without distractions. Some are facing hard situations. Others just need a place to unwind and be together.

Vermillion Ranch offers a quiet, welcoming environment in nature where groups can step away from everyday life and spend meaningful time with God and with each other.

 

“Everyone deserves a place to relax, heal, and belong.” – Nicki Garcia, co-founder
