Where the Hurting Find Home.

Grace Gate Farm began with a seed of faith. What started as a quiet dream in the hearts of Bryan and Kirstie became a place where people and animals find peace, rest, and healing. Through years of prayer, obedience, and practical steps, God brought the vision to life—transforming open land into a refuge for the hurting and the hopeful. Every fence post, garden row, and barn beam reflects God’s goodness and the unwavering belief that healing is possible when people are given space to breathe again.

A Farm That Heals and Multiplies

We believe this land was given for more than just one community. Grace Gate is a model. Our hope is that the healing that happens here can be multiplied through others, through similar farms, programs, and spaces that bring people back to what matters. The long-term vision is not just for restoration but for replication. One healed life can ripple outward into homes, families, and future generations. Our goal is to steward this gift and one day pass on the blueprint to others called to do the same.

Meet the Founders

Bryan and Kirstie didn’t set out to start a ministry. But through years of walking with Jesus, they felt the call grow stronger to create a place where others could experience the healing they had found. Bryan brings hands-on grit and a father’s steadiness. Kirstie brings warmth, prayerful leadership, and an open heart ready to listen. Together, they’ve seen the Lord restore their own family and now make space for others to do the same.

Statement of Faith

At Grace Gate Farm, our foundation is Jesus Christ, and our mission is to glorify God in all we do. We believe that true healing, restoration, and purpose come through a relationship with Him. Our faith shapes the way we steward the land, care for animals, and serve our community.

What We Believe

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, revealing His truth and guiding our lives (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

  • We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose again, and is the only way to salvation (John 14:6, Romans 10:9-10).

  • We believe that salvation is a gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by our own works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

  • We believe that God reveals Himself through His creation, demonstrating His power, wisdom, and provision (Romans 1:20, Psalm 19:1). We seek to honor Him by caring for the land and animals with gratitude and stewardship.

  • We believe we are called to live in fellowship with other believers, to encourage and disciple one another, and to be the hands and feet of Jesus in serving others (Hebrews 10:24-25, Matthew 22:37-39).

  • We believe in sharing the gospel and making disciples, inviting others into the love, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).

Grace Gate Farm exists to be a place of refuge, healing, and renewal, where people encounter God through His creation. Whether through animal-assisted therapy, regenerative farming, or simply experiencing the peace of His divine work, we seek to reflect His goodness, cultivate faith, and advance His kingdom.
