About Annandale Ranch Retreat
Where God meets people in the ordinary spaces of life
Jeremy & Sarah McQuown
Founders & Hosts
Jeremy and Sarah McQuown have been shaped deeply by a conviction that God meets people in the ordinary spaces of life. They love walking with people and sharing the sacred stories of God encountering them in particular places.
Their journey with hospitality has become closely intertwined with the historic Annandale Ranch Retreat, a place marked by a legacy of land and resource stewardship. What began as a ministry of care for church leaders and hosting friends in a shared family house, has grown into a vision to create a restorative and healing landscape for weary souls.
"They see a landscape where Scripture is opened slowly, communion and shared life is practiced faithfully, and people are invited to rediscover God's presence in the rhythms of everyday life."
Through the years, Jeremy and Sarah have welcomed pastors, leaders, friends, and family to the Annandale for times of reflection, spiritual renewal, and vocational clarity. Much of their vision for ministry is shaped by the land itself—the quiet, the wide skies, the unhurried pace—which mirrors their shared belief that transformation most often happens not through pressure, but through presence.
A Shared Calling
Jeremy
Having served as a pastor and the director of BetterDays counseling, Jeremy's teaching and pastoral leadership is rooted in Scripture and contemplative attentiveness.
Sarah
Sarah's gifts of hospitality, care, and spiritual intuition create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and welcomed into deeper encounter with God.
Their partnership reflects a shared calling: to cultivate environments where faith is not abstract, but embodied—lived at tables, in conversation, in prayer, and in stillness.
Our Philosophy
For Jeremy and Sarah, Annandale Ranch Retreat is more than a retreat center—it is a witness to the slow, faithful work of God across time. It stands as a symbol of their own ministry philosophy:
God often does God's deepest work not in spectacle, but in steadiness
Transformation happens not in escape from life, but in attentive return to it
A way of life marked by listening, presence, and trust in God
Their work continues to invite others into a way of life marked by listening, presence, and trust in the God who is already at work in every ordinary moment.
