About Us
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.
