Dr. Rick Carter, Jr. began in full time ministry in 1994 starting a church in Oberlin Kansas. In 1999 he took a short break to get his education at Beth Haven Baptist Seminary, ultimately receiving his Doctorate in Biblical Counseling. He is currently the pastor of Beth Haven Baptist Church in Oklahoma City. Dr. Carter is also the author of the H.O.P.E.

His great concern is helping people through the application of the Word of God in Biblical counsel. He firmly believes 2 Peter 1:3 is true when it says that God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. This is the passion that drives him to minister in many different facets, with the goal of reaching & impacting the lives of as many people as possible.

Dr. Carter devotes a large amount of time counseling the members of Beth Haven Baptist Church & the students here. His involvement & counsel each week with the students at Victory Ranch is highly beneficial & necessary to their recovery.

After much prayer, and seeking the Lord, Mike and Becky and their 7 children moved in July of 2019, to Oklahoma and joined Beth Haven Baptist Church in Oklahoma City to serve at Victory Ranch. Mike serves as the Assistant Director of the Ranch. The Farrell family are thrilled to serve and be a part of the work that God is doing in the lives of the precious men and women of Victory Ranch.

Jason ‘Biff’ Ross

Administrative Assistant / Tech Support

Brother Jason (aka Biff) is a graduate of Victory Ranch. Since graduating from the Ranch, Biff knew the Lord desired that he come to Oklahoma from Rapid City, South Dakota and serve his Savior with Victory Ranch. Within a year after graduating, Biff moved, along with his wife, Sunbeam, and children to Oklahoma.
The Lord has called Biff to serve Him in whatever capacity he can using Jeremiah 1:5-7 “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. “ and Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
Biff is eager and rejoices at the opportunity to serve the Lord using his love for computers and all things ‘office,’ while being a servant, a mentor, a friend, and a brother to both the staff and students at Victory Ranch.
