Horn Creek represents a vast community of folks that have connections with the ministry here. Our staff team, past and present, our many speakers and leaders, partners in ministry and all of our campers make up this incredible family! This is important because we believe that God works powerfully in the context of any community that seeks Him. It's also important because we have learned that it takes every aspect of this community to make Horn Creek go! Employees: We shall be an equitable employer committed to a workplace that supports the hiring and retention of those called to service at Horn Creek by providing opportunities for spiritual and professional growth. In 1951 two brothers, Paul and Dwight Zeller, founded Horn Creek to provide a camp in the Rockies that would minister to the youth of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. Dwight went on to found the Sangre de Cristo Seminary that now shares a boundary with Horn Creek. Paul and his young bride, Jean, spent much of their lives as devoted and faithful servants to the vision God gave them for Horn Creek. It all began in a single-room potato cellar that still exists at our Ranch facility. There is a well-known story at Horn Creek that Jean mixed mortar by hand for many of the stone foundations around Horn Creek. In fact, for their very first anniversary they celebrated at Horn Creek, Paul gave Jean a powered mortar mixer! For many this may seem like a very unromantic gift, but it represented a common dream to Paul and Jean. Because of their vision, sacrifice, faith and commitment along with God's grace, that dream has now become a legacy of ministry. Their plan was simply to provide a non-denominational camp where youth could visit for a week and find plenty of opportunities to have fun, where friendships were encouraged to grow, where youth could witness the beauty and majesty of God's creation, and where they could be gently introduced to the loving nature and truth of Christ.
