About The Position

We are searching for a responsible person who enjoys working with young people. This person should be able to lead, support, and motivate strong-willed boys. The work job supervisor will prepare equipment needed for job sites, ensure safety, transport boys and materials, work with boys on the job, and use power tools and other equipment. The work job supervisor should demonstrate consistency, flexibility, and teamwork. L.U.C. Ranch was founded by Ken and Sheila Ortman in 1982 with the premise that because God created each person with a purpose, each boy who comes to the Ranch is worth saving and can develop to his full potential with God's help. The Ranch began with a vision to make it possible for troubled boys to have a second chance at life by changing their behavior patterns. We believe that this begins by demonstrating God’s love to them through words and actions. Success in boys’ lives at the Ranch is based on two basic principles: that God can change lives in miraculous ways, and that good work habits are important for building character, self-esteem, and self-discipline. Accomplishments at the Ranch are due to the staff and Ranch friends who have joined us by giving of their time, talents, funds and are praying for us. Our Core Beliefs Vision Changing the way that America saves at-risk youth. Mission Statement Provide boys the opportunity to become capable, committed, Christian citizens. Statement of Faith We believe and teach the Scripture of the Old and New Testament as the inspired Word of God. We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. We believe that God is perfect, infinite, and eternal and co-exists in three persons – The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. We believe in the repentance and forgiveness of sins as a personal experience through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity, whose ministry is to convict of sin, regenerate the soul, indwell and empower the believer in order that he might be a witness of the Gospel of Christ. We believe in and support the work of the local church (the mission program and evangelism program).
