Grace Equine Rescue and Therapy for Humans, Inc.         

Mission Statement

To provide a safe, nurturing and healing environment for the abused and/or neglected horse and to allow this hurting animal time to heal and regain trust with humans. Further, these horses will then be used for the therapeutic riding program or for placement in adoptive homes.

To provide a safe, nurturing and healing environment for economically disadvantaged, abused and/or neglected, at-risk children, and further, allowing these children to bond with and feel the unconditional love from these animals. Through these horses and caring humans, this will help these children to learn love and trust and enable them to grow in a positive healthy environment.

To provide a safe, nurturing and healing environment for women going through a healing process and help them relearn and rebuild trust and allow themselves to love, care and nurture, beginning with the horses. This will help them to build their self-esteem and learn their identity in Christ, thus giving them the opportunity to live the life God intended them to live.

Statement of Faith

Our beliefs are based solely on the Bible, God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that the Bible was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the inerrant and entire revelation of God's will for salvation, and the Divine and final authority for the Christian faith and life ( 2 Timothy 3:15-17).

*          We believe in one God, the creator of all things, eternal, infinite, perfect, and manifested in three persons as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-3; Isaiah 44:6-8; Matt. 28:19; Mark 12:29; Duet. 6:4; Isaiah 43:10).

*          We believe Jesus Christ was God manifested in the flesh, true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary (Isaiah 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Isaiah 9:6).

*          We believe in His sinless life, His miraculous ministry, His substitutionary death on the cross as atonement for our sins, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His ascension into heaven to serve as our Intercessor before the Father (John 1:14; Hebrews 7:25,26).

*          We believe in salvation only through the blood of Jesus. Man was created good but by voluntary transgression fell, and his ONLY hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ ( Rom. 3:23; Rom. 10:13-15; Eph. 2:8; John 3:3-8; 1 John 1:7-9). This causes us to enter the family of God by an experience called the "New Birth" as Jesus taught Nicodemus in John chapter 3.

*          We believe water baptism is by immersion, and must be observed by all who truly repent and believe on Christ as he commanded. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47,48; Acts 2:38; 1 Pet. 3:21 Rom. 6:4,5)

*          We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God, promised by Christ to all believers, distinct from and subsequent to the New Birth, ( Acts 2:38,39; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 15:8,9) and that speaking with tongues is the initial physical evidence ( Acts 2:4; Acts10:44-46; Acts 19:6).

*          We believe in divine healing and prayer for the sick. Deliverance from sickness and disease was provided in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matt. 8:16,17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14; James 5:14,15).

*          We believe in the blessed hope and return of Christ. The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep together with those who are alive and remain, is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church (1 Thes. 4:16; Rom. 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:51,52).

Without the G.E.R.T.H, you can’t stay in the saddle –

Without God, you can’t live the life He intended you to live!

Purpose

Ultimately, we will be bringing God’s children into a saving relationship, or a renewed relationship, with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  By learning how to unconditionally love and receive unconditional love, God’s children will learn about our Heavenly Father and the unconditional love He has for all of us.

Where a horse and a child of God come together - only by grace. 

Join us on this journey as this is something that could only come together by the

Grace of God.
