Easter at The Ranch 2026

He Is Risen, He Is Risen Indeed!

What a beautiful morning celebrating our risen Lord. As we watched the sun rise over the hillside, we could only imagine how those first followers and disciples felt as the angels told them the news of Jesus, alive again! "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." ~ Matthew 28:6

Thank you to John and Terrie Walter for hosting all of Maverick Church and friends at their beautiful ranch in San Miguel. It made for the perfect setting to celebrate!

What a great looking group! Thank you to our teens and young adults who did so much behind the scenes hard work. From the 5:45 am setup, to the after service tear down, their nonstop energy was incredible.
