Our Story

From Inception–September 2011

Courtyard Ministries began germinating in September 2011 through a time of worship in the courtyard at Watchtower Ranch. Through the years an understanding of God’s guidance and directive became more evident as to what Courtyard Ministries should be. So many worship moments, unintended divine appointments leading to relationships, and countless experiences kept pushing ministry to the forefront of our mind.

Activation 2011-March 2022

In March 2022 the push finally came to step out and formally form Courtyard Ministries. Our hope and fuel for this ministry is worship, in every form that stirs a believer’s heart. Our heart leans fully into worship, relationship, and experience with and to God through Jesus with guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Why Courtyard?

The courtyard in scripture was a place of holiness set apart in the tabernacle. It was a place of worship for David to become even more undignified. It was a place of doubt for Peter after Jesus was arrested. In other words, our desire for Courtyard is to be a place where vulnerability, authenticity, holiness, and being undone mix together to deepen ourselves unto our Heavenly Father.
