Volunteer

Special Events: 
We host events several times each year and always need volunteers to help! Being excellent hosts and hostesses is something that God has blessed Risen Ridge with and it takes many hands to do it well.

Construction Projects: 
There is a big vision for Risen Ridge and that vision includes many transformations to the barn and property. Things like constructing the tackroom, redoing the flooring upstairs, building stairs to the upper level, and renovating the big barn doors are just a few of the projects lined up.

Farm Maintenance:
We want to honor God in all that we do and that includes keeping the property up to a high standard. Mowing the grass, bush hogging the pasture, keeping the fence line neat, fixing little things here and there, even weeding flower beds (when we have them). As we grow, this role will grow, too.

Horse Care:
Our ministry horses are our partners in the call that God has placed in our hearts. They deserve the very best care and they get it! Cleaning stalls, fresh water, good grooming, and exercise are all part of caring for our herd. No experience necessary - we will gladly work with you and teach you.

Session Leader: 
Our session leaders work with our guests to help give them an amazing experience with the Lord during their time with us. We currently offer two programs for our guests, Clear Path and Heavenly Horsemanship. Risen Ridge utilizes an equine assisted learning program called, Biblically Based Equine Assisted Programs. We call it BBEAP for short. Jen has been through the certification program and all of our session leaders will complete the volunteer course. BBEAP serves as the framework for what we do with our guests and gives us the freedom to modify the activities as we discern from the Holy Spirit what is best for our guests.

Once you've looked over our website or heard enough about us that you feel that serving here sounds like something you are interested in doing, you will need to either attend or watch the volunteer orientation.
During the orientation, you will learn about the culture of Risen Ridge Ministry, the policies and procedures, and the volunteer roles that are available.
We hold an in-person orientation once a year, however, both the video recording and the volunteer handbook will be made available to you online if you want to join us after the in-person orientation.

All of our volunteer forms are made available to you online after completing the volunteer orientation.

A few volunteer positions require extra training, usually on-site, at the barn. We will schedule this training after you have completed the volunteer orientation.
