WELCOME
A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR LARKINS, SUPERINTENDANT
Welcome to Shekinah Ranch LifeSchool
Saddle Up! At Shekinah Ranch, we engage people. We give people a real life encounter with experiences that require each individual to exercise areas of their mind that they normally don't use.
For instance, we want to challenge people to be left brain/right brain thinkers; some may refer to that as becoming balanced thinkers. Most people do not use half of their brain capacity. We call these individuals: lazy thinkers. When faced with obstacles and adversities in life, they freeze up, become frustrated, and ultimately turn to drugs or quit. By playing video games all of the time, brain freezes become more and more common than not. I call it brain paralysis. These lazy thinkers couldn't navigate themselves out of a wet paper sack if they had too. Whether it is engaging horses, feeding fish, playing the hula hoop game, going fishing, or engaging in one of our many obstacle challenges, our goal is to engage both sides of the brain, teach you to be strong critical thinkers, problem solvers, good decision makers, and to become real winners.
No, we are not mental health therapists. We are ministers and life educators. Shekinah LifeSchool will benefit people from all walks of life. You give me a group of educators, athletes, or professionals of any practice, and watch us do what we do best. The result: assured life enhancement if you will give us your attention, and engage, engage, engage.
You can't cheat when engaged with this experience. There are no shortcuts. It's all real and all impacting. Welcome to Shekinah LifeSchool!!!
You can do this! You too can be the best “you” that there is. Welcome to the challenge!
Register your group today and experience the retreat effect. Experience the challenge of your senses and your mind and even your body will thank you for it! Come alive at Shekinah!
DECISIONS DECISIONS
LIFE IS A CONSTANT PROCESS OF MAKING DECISIONS
Some decisions are simple while many of life’s choices are very hard and complex.
Shekinah Ranch LifeSchool has been developed to equip youth and young adults to become skillful decision makers. I am sure most have never thought of the concept of developing wise decision makers with skills. But now we live in a time when life schools are necessary, and we are training our students to become trained and proficient critical thinkers in making difficult and really tough choices.
LifeSchool teaches these simple but important concepts. It takes courage to make the right choices when your friends are all making wrong choices! Parallel learning applies to all of life! Making the right choices determines the outcome and will define the quality of life!
Pastor Donovan Larkins
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE YOUTH
SHEKINAH YOUTH CONNECTION
Preparing Youth For Life
While academics are vital, it is equally vital and important for us to equip our youth and young adults with necessary life skills and understanding how to enter the bigger world and life with these indispensable skills so they are able to successfully navigate this tough world.

SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, TECNOLOGY & MATH ARE A WAY OF LIFE
Aquaculture Institute
Aquaculture requires a wide range of research skills in order to develop and broaden each perspective.
-
The efficiency of aquaculture production
-
Aquaculture production systems
-
The sustainability and environmental compatibility of aquaculture production
-
The quality, safety and variety of aquaculture products for consumers.
-
The marketing of aquaculture products.
-
Information dissemination, technology transfer and access to information and technology in aquaculture.
The opportunity starts here.
LIFE WISE & BOOK SMART
Today’s youth must be exposed to a dynamic that allows them to experience different forms of technology. Sustainable heating systems heat the majority of our campus operations off the grid. Students will be exposed to such sustainability and technology. I have often said that formal education does nothing to prepare students for these kinds of technological exposure. Welcome to Shekinah LifeSchool!
Creating opportunities
for the next generation of farmers.
Shekinah Ranch provides discovery, and each participant enjoys the experience of how technology truly shapes our world from the ground up to activation.
Shekinah Ranch has just completed building its two walk-in coolers. We were able to complete this building at a fraction of the cost of a traditional walk-in cooler.
LIMITED AVAILABILITY
We learn that, with raising animals and animal husbandry, the long way around is found in taking shortcuts.
Shortcuts are not the true way to science and animal husbandry. Animal husbandry requires accuracy and precision. From taking soil samples and measuring PH (the measure of acidity or alkalinity in soil) to nitrate and nitrite in the water, we must keep our systems in good balance to maintain the ecosystem for healthy growth and production. Shortcuts are not allowed for the sustainability of life!
