Welcome to

Living Springs Ranch

We are a non-denominational, Christ centered ministry designed to provide rest and rejuvenation for Christian ministry workers. Located near Spokane, Washington, we provide a safe, quiet place where guests can rest and relax; a place where they can be still and reconnect with the Lord.

Retreats for Christian ministry workers: Full-time Christian ministry workers and their families are invited to enjoy a time of rest and renewal for up to two weeks at a time. Our mountain retreat allows you to set your own schedule, spend time alone with God, relax, explore our 140 acres of mountaintop forest, and spend quality time with your spouse.

Burnout Recovery, Education, and Prevention: We find that burnout is far to common among Christian ministry workers. High stress work environments, lack of assistance, continually dealing with crisis, and guilt over taking time off are just some of many possible causes of burnout. We attempt to help people learn how to balance their lives so that they can recover and continue on in ministry with new habits that will help keep them from future burnouts. Follow-up retreats and taking time away from ministry to focus on family are a key ingredient to ongoing burnout prevention.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide rest and rejuvenation for Christian workers who have devoted themselves to the service of Jesus Christ. Our goal is that each person return to their ministries refreshed, refocused, energized, and better equipped for effective service.
