Who is the program designed for?
The ministry’s current program model focuses on children and teens ages 6–18 who have experienced trauma, adversity, or significant life challenges. Contact the team to discuss fit and current availability.
What is the ten-session program?
It is a one-on-one equine-assisted discipleship and mentoring journey. Sessions explore biblical themes such as identity, trust, forgiveness, purpose, and hope through relationships with horses and caring mentors.
Is Cross Rails a Christian ministry?
Yes. Biblical teaching, prayer, and the love of Jesus Christ are central to the ministry. You can read our full Statement of Faith.
Is this licensed therapy or medical treatment?
The program presented on this site is Christian discipleship and equine-assisted mentoring. It is not presented as licensed psychotherapy or medical treatment, and is not a crisis service.
How do I ask about a child participating?
An adult caregiver or referring professional can use the contact page to begin a conversation. Please do not include a child’s name, medical details, or trauma history in an initial web inquiry.
Are sessions available now, and what do they cost?
Contact the ministry for current availability, scheduling, participation costs, and registration steps. These details need to be confirmed for each program season.
Do volunteers need horse experience?
Some roles require horse-related skills or training. Other opportunities involve prayer, administration, events, fundraising, or practical support. Share your interests so the team can help identify a possible fit.
Can someone under 18 volunteer?
A parent or guardian should contact the ministry to ask about current age requirements and supervision arrangements. The website’s initial interest form is intended for adults.
Can I visit the farm?
Please arrange any visit with ministry leadership in advance. Contact the team for directions and an agreed appointment; there are no public drop-in hours listed on this site.
Can I donate feed or equipment?
Please contact the team before buying or delivering supplies so current needs, suitability, and delivery arrangements can be confirmed.
Are the horse profiles the current herd?
The named profiles on our Horses page come from the earlier Cross Rails website and are labeled as part of the ministry’s history. They do not confirm current program participation.
How is my inquiry information used?
Information from a connected website form is used to respond to your inquiry and coordinate next steps. See the Privacy Notice. In the website preview, nothing is submitted.
