Who is Willowood Ranch
Celebration Ministries has been ministering to students and churches globally since 1985. In 2001, Celebration Ministries established Willowood Ranch as a sanctuary where those specifically in ministry could retreat, connect deeply with Christ, and immerse themselves in a place of peace. By providing exceptional retreat and fellowship accommodations, we collaborate with numerous ministries and churches nationwide to teach and encourage leaders and pastors. Since its inception, Willowood Ranch Retreats has developed into a versatile venue capable of accommodating individual couples, pastoral sabbaticals, men's and women's retreats, marriage retreats, family reunions, weddings, music festivals, and many other events.
