    God's Journey to the 11th Hour

    Back in 2005, the Finn Family moved to West Virginia to start this incredible journey for a place for family restoration, where boys can enjoy school again, and all can experience positive family values - It wasn't all sunshines and rainbows at the inception; or even roads to the property. Chestnut Mountain Ranch  modeled their vision after the 25+ year program called Eagle Ranch. Located in Georgia, Eagle Ranch is nationally recognized as one of the best programs in the country, and has been featured on notable programs such as CNN News.



    Now CMR is on a 225 225 beautiful acres outside of Morgantown, WV - A Christ-centered safe haven for boys and families in crisis. The story from beginning of CMR to today is inspirational, even though at one point everything seemed impossible.
