The Genesis Ranch acreage that surrounds the ministry center is filled with recreational adventures and fellowship opportunities for guests to enjoy during their stay.

On the top of the highest peak, and at several points in between, there are peaceful resting spots where guests are encouraged to pray and connect with Jesus.
