We’re getting ready to launch the Hoof Prints ministry!

The concept is to use a few horses that have been rescued and rehabilitated from neglected and abusive situations; then combine them with women, children and youth who have been neglected, rejected, abused or depressed. Horses can have a calming, therapeutic effect on people. The idea is to bring the hurting into a warm, friendly, non-judgmental environment to help care for these horses.
The idea was first proposed to the church in 2004 and it was warmly received. Various people have been involved since then, working behind the scenes and praying for direction. We recently completed the fence raising. We expect to start with three horses and anticipate they will come from the Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue. Common Ground Church will become foster parents to these horses. It’s very exciting to see this ministry coming together. It should serve as a wonderful outreach ministry for our church and will help many people in a very unique and caring way.
The Hoof Prints Ministry official Kick off was May 10, 2008:
