"Mrs. Lana", as she is now affectionately known by, started a small Bible Study for local high school students in their living room in tiny Bells, Texas in 2017. It rapidly grew to over 70 students a week. As the number of students they were serving grew, so did their vision of what Home Run Ranch could be. Now, Home Run Ranch is a flourishing youth ministry serving 80 plus high school students from more than 18 high schools.
In addition to Bible Study, they offer Wiffle Ball on a lighted, turf field that is a replica of Fenway Park in Boston. They also have basketball and pickle ball on a lighted court, ping pong, billiards, fishing and multiple patios that include picnic tables and a fire pit. The new building has a kitchen with concession stand, two restrooms and a large meeting room that is available for party or corporate rentals with all money going to better serve the students. The room can seat 80 plus people.
The mission is to provide a safe place for students to grow their faith, build friendships, and have fun.
Lana is a former public school teacher and Stephen is a financial advisor that helps families with personal financial game-plans and specializes in retirement plans for companies. The Newtons have a son, Eli aka Newty (17), 3 cats, 3 dogs, 2 goats and 2 turtles. They are huge baseball fans, with the Braves, Astros and Red Sox being their favorite teams.
We meet nearly every Sunday night at 7pm. It is open to all high school students regardless of what school they attend. We have students from as many as 18 different schools, including public, private and home school.
To help offset the ministry expenses, we rent the Wiffle Ball field and building out for all types of events. Rates vary from $75-100 an hour. Many different groups have made lifetime memories here at this unique venue!
