The mission of Mo-Ranch is to foster growth in God through Jesus Christ by sharing its unique living, learning, Christian environment.

One of the unique attributes of our youth conferences are the Young Adult Leaders. These members of the planning team provide a youth input in planning and are important leaders during the conference. Young Adults Leaders help in many areas of the conference and play a crucial role in the success of each youth conference. Young Adult Leaders help provide a welcoming community for conference participants and serve as role models for their peers.
We are committed to selecting a wide range of persons who are active members in their home congregations; who have experience in leadership roles or show the potential to positively lead their peers; and who represent geographical and racial/ethnic diversity.
 
Young Adult Leaders will be called on to help with recreation events, music, worship, small groups, and general conference hands and feet under the guidance of the conference’s platform leadership team and Mo-Ranch Program Department staff. Please note by applying to be a Young Adult Leader, you agree to the terms listed on the ministry summary and understand that you may be asked to arrive earlier than the start date of the conference and you are responsible for arranging transportation to Mo-Ranch.

  • The mission of Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly is to foster growth in God through Jesus Christ by sharing its unique living, learning, Christian environment.

    More than a set of “rules” or “guidelines,” a covenant between conference participants remembers our Biblical foundations. God who created all that was, is, and is to come, made a covenant to always love and care for us. Following God’s lead, we make a covenant with one another when we gather in community to make a safe and caring place for playing, studying, worshiping and living.

    I promise to participate in the building and caring for community by:
     Being fully present and participating in all scheduled activities
     Showing respect for conference participants, staff, other guests as well as the ranch itself by:
    o Asking before entering a housing facility that is not my “home” for the week
    o Abiding by the smoke-free building policy
    o Being responsible for my belongings and caring for the property of others
    o Refraining from throwing things off either catwalk
    o Swimming in groups, at designated times
    o Refraining from jumping or diving from the highway bridge or the dam
    o Using the Ropes Course only while Mo-Ranch staff are present
     Dressing appropriately by wearing clothing that allows me to participate fully in the activity at hand, keeping in mind
    that I am attending a church youth conference and that I represent my family, congregation and community at all times
    by what I say, do, and wear. I will not bring clothing that advertises alcohol or tobacco or other illegal substances; nor
    which contain language/pictures that demean or ridicule someone’s gender, sexuality or ethnic origin.
    I will wear clothing that is modest in style and does not detract from my participation or others' participation in the conference.
     Refraining from any and all sexual activity and inappropriate conduct of any kind while at Mo-Ranch.
     Abiding by laws prohibiting the possession or use of illegal drugs and which prohibit the possession or use of alcohol
    by persons under the age of 21. (As an adult over the age of 21, I will abstain from consuming alcohol during the
    conference). I will take medication prescribed to me by a doctor only as directed.
     Caring for the environment in which we are all learning, playing and living by putting trash and recyclables in to the
    appropriate containers; using my audio devices in such a way that they do not disrupt others; watching the ways I
    express myself through words and actions; and minimizing technological distractions (texting, phones, tablets).
     Leaving at home items such as: skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, firearms, knives, weapons of any kind, incendiary
    devices (matches, lighters, fireworks and so on), laser pointers, or other items that could disrupt the conference or
    other Mo-Ranch guests.
     Practicing the "Rule of Three" (2 youth and 1 adult, or 2 unrelated adults and 1 youth) while in classrooms, walking
    about the ranch, and in housing.
