Our Purpose
From the start of its existence, the Ironwood ministry has existed to reach individuals for Christ, strengthen families, and serve local churches. Over the years, we have seen the value of setting time aside to get away from the day-to-day expectations and challenges of life and allowing God to refresh and refocus.
This is especially true for pastors and their families.
To enable this to happen in a more specific way, we had the dream to build a refuge – a place set aside specifically to help pastors grow closer to God, family, their ministry team, and other pastors.
The Vision
After several years of planning, preparation, and building, we had our first guests at the Hacienda in December 2016. Since that time, we have had the privilege of serving dozens of pastors from all over the country and world. The Hacienda provides a quiet, comfortable, cozy, refreshing and private location for pastors to experience rest and renewal.
