“Attempt something so great for God that it is doomed to failure unless God be in it.”

These words pictured above helped motivate Eddie Staub – with no land, little funding, experience or local ties – to establish Eagle Ranch over two decades ago. Because of its extraordinary formation and early growth, the Ranch was called "the miracle on Chestnut Mountain" by CNN television during the initial phases of construction and development.

The first home opened in 1985 and the last two homes were completed in 1997, for a total of six boys’ homes. In the fall of 2001, the Ranch opened two girls’ homes. An on-campus school was started that same year, allowing us to educate our children in grades six through nine. 

Since its inception, Eagle Ranch has provided a home for more than 600 children and today is one of the nation’s most progressive therapeutic Christian homes for children in crisis, and the largest children’s home in Northeast Georgia.

The inspiring story of the founding of Eagle Ranch is told in the book “On Eagle’s Wings” (Looking Glass Books, 1995), now in its ninth printing.
