Additional Information
The Bishop's Ranch is a self-supporting institution of the Episcopal Diocese of
California.
The mission of the Ranch is to share a place of rare beauty through hospitality that
nourishes the spirit, body, and mind.
We fulfill the mission of the Ranch by providing hospitality for retreats, conferences,
and other gatherings to groups and individuals from the Diocese of California, other
churches, and non-profit groups. Our goal is to provide these services in a personal
and relaxed but efficient way that enables guests to reach their goals for spiritual,
personal, and organizational growth.
Working at The Bishop’s Ranch is service-oriented, and doing our jobs successfully is
based on teamwork. Because of the wide-ranging nature of the tasks involved in
caring for our guests and facilities, it may be necessary to perform tasks outside our
usual line of work. The flexibility to help in different situations in order to support our
guests and the overall goals of the Ranch is a requirement of working at The
Bishop’s Ranch.
