A Christian Retreat Center in Beulah, Colorado

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,...
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me...,
and you will find rest for your souls."
Matthew 11:28

An Invitation...

Just as Jesus “went out to a mountainside to pray” (Luke 6:12) and “withdrew again to a mountain by himself” (John 6:15), so we all need time alone to “catch up with ourselves,” focus on God, pray, meditate, and discern God’s direction for us. The key is time and a place away from the pressing routines of life and the barrage of phone, people and media. Easy Yoke Ranch, a Christian retreat center in Beulah, Colorado is such a setting.

The outdoor setting: (click for a quick virtual walk!) A mountain stream, ponderosa pine forests, meadows, hiking trails, and all the wonders of God’s creation. The natural setting provides opportunities for activities such as hiking, bird watching, disc golf, and cross-country skiing in season.

The indoor setting: Quiet bedrooms, cozy lounging areas, a small library and separation from the everyday world. Click to see the inside of the Christian Retreat Center

Whatever your station in life, your current state of busyness, turmoil or boredom, it is a place to withdraw for prayer, study, meditation and reflection on God’s influence in your life.

Who is it intended for? The retreat center is designed to aid followers of Jesus the Christ in their walk with Him.

May I come as an individual? Yes. Come to the center as a place of retreat to pursue your own agenda in this setting of quiet and solitude--including a private bedroom. Although organized programs for individuals and groups will be available periodically in the future, at this point the center mainly provides an opportunity for individual self-directed Christian retreats.

What is available if we come as a couple? The same resources are available to couples as to individuals.

Are there opportunities for groups? Yes, by reserving sufficiently in advance, a group can use all eight sleeping rooms and utilize the retreat center facilities exclusively for their group. Groups of as many as 20 people are easily accommodated.

Is the center available as a retreat for pastors? Yes, in fact the center was founded with a particular vision for providing pastors with a place for retreat. As the center develops, additional resources for pastors will be made available including consultation on lifestyle and personal issues such as physical fitness (including nutrition and exercise programs), time management, and financial management. Presently the center provides a place for self-directed retreat, personal study, and use of the retreat center library of Christian (and other) titles.

What about food? At the present time, retreatants need to bring their own food. Facilities are available for simple food preparation. Eventually, simple breakfasts and lunches will be available on a self-serve basis, with a community dinner available in the evening. Groups can use the center kitchen facilities to prepare their own meals to lower costs and/or build a sense of community.

What should I bring? The day to night fluctuations in temperature are large in this mountain setting. Afternoon showers are typical. Come with suitable clothing. Bed linens and towels are provided. Bring personal items, Bible and other books you think will assist your time of retreat.
