In 1962, Gregg Hires joined his father’s ministry working with troubled teens at the Flying H Youth Ranch. Over the next 33 years, he served as a clinical social worker, family counselor, clinical director, and administrator. Gregg also founded Hope Counseling, a non-profit counseling practice in Yakima, Washington. While working with families in crisis, God revealed a desperate need for extended periods of focused counseling, removed from the distractions of everyday life. Gregg, and his wife Glenna, responded to God’s call by deciding to start a ministry devoted to this need. Bethel Ridge Family Resources was formed as a non-profit organization to govern the counseling ministry of Bethel Ridge Counseling Retreat. As we developed facilities, business plans, and the necessary tools to serve families at Bethel Ridge we relied heavily on the provision of God. He has confirmed the calling of Gregg and Glenna and the Board in numerous ways. He has provided volunteers to work on many projects including facility construction, administrative details, and marketing. Financially, He has provided through the generous donations of our supporters. Most importantly, God has brought individuals, couples, families, and Christian leaders to Bethel Ridge and through his power transformed their lives. (see testimonials) We look forward to the future as God develops and expands Bethel Ridge Counseling Retreat to bring hope to people in crisis.
