Snow Mountain Ranch

WARNING! If you're content with the same-old summer and lukewarm faith is hot enough.... this program is not for you! However, if you crave steroids for your faith and long to be transformed into the likeness of Christ through a face-to-face encounter with the living God - you can't miss this opportunity!

The Snow Mountain Ranch program is an intense, 10-week discipleship training program set in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, just a few miles away from Winter Park, CO. The program is directed by Navigator staff who desire to help students not only establish a solid foundation in the "basics" of Christian life, but also to build on those basics through consistent application.  This is accomplished through active study of God's Word, scripture memory, prayer and practical evangelism training and experience.
