We are Joe & Logan; our sons are Henry, Jacob and Isaac and we have been blessed. In October of 2021, God decided to move our family from our "American Dream" suburban life to a much smaller home on 7 acres about a 40 minute drive from anything. Being obedient to that calling was the hardest and best decision we had ever made.

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans."

Shortly after we moved to the farm, Joe was laid off. God made a way for His plans by removing the obstacles that were in His way. We decided to homeschool our boys and became a single-income household. A year later, I was laid off. Apparently God still had other plans...and the role-reversal that I had created in our home wasn't part of them! We finally surrendered our financial burdens to the Lord and in the days and weeks following, we committed to serving Him FULL TIME, whatever that looked like and meant...
Most importantly though, God gave us the time we needed to begin the Men's Ministry and Women's Ministry on Saturdays. What started as 10-12 men in a small pole building has grown to up to 20 women in one barn, 30-40 men in another (both of which now have heat and a bathroom!) and 10+ kids running around the farm, playing and fellowshipping together. It's a welcoming, humble group of people trying to understand, apply and live God's Word through reading, worshiping, praying and doing life together. We invite and encourage you to join us!
God has been faithful in His promise and His plans. He is creating what He always intended for our family, our farm and our community. In just a few short years, we have ventured into the unknown in so many ways and are passionate about helping others to find the strength, courage and FAITH to do the same!
We believe everything we have, from finances, resources, faith and love to the very hair on our heads and breath in our lungs, is not ours but God's. We want to share what God has built here with you and we believe God will make the way - it's up to you to take it !

Our Hedge of Protection
The Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
1 "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
