Welcome to your date night experience
In the business of everyday life, meaningful connection can easily take a back seat. Our Date Night Experience is designed to help couples slow down, enjoy one another's company, and create lasting memories in the peaceful setting of Risen Ridge Ministry.
what to expect
delicious dinner
*Enjoy a delicious catered dinner in the Risen Ridge Café, set in an intimate atmosphere with sweeping views that feel like a glimpse of heaven on earth. Dinner is provided by Sooner BBQ & More, with menu selections shared ahead of your date so you can choose your meal in advance.
equine experience
* A highlight of the evening. Spend meaningful time up close with two of our ministry horses as you groom, connect, and learn their unique personalities. You’ll also participate in a guided equine-assisted learning activity designed to gently reflect key dynamics in your relationship—communication, trust, and connection.
sweet ending
*Return to the Café for a dessert experience featuring something special from Miller’s Bake Shoppe. As you enjoy your dessert and coffee, thoughtfully designed table questions will guide your conversation, helping you reflect on what you discovered during your time with the horses.
deeper connection
* Throughout the evening, you’ll have intentional space to slow down, disconnect from distractions, and reconnect with one another. Whether you’ve been together for years or are just beginning your journey, this experience is designed to create meaningful conversation and lasting memories.
guided experience
* Every part of the evening is gently facilitated by the Risen Ridge team so you can simply relax and enjoy. From dinner to the horse activities, we’ll provide just enough structure to help you feel comfortable while leaving plenty of room for natural connection and discovery.
faith-filled atmosphere
* Risen Ridge Ministry is rooted in a Christian foundation. While the evening is not a formal service, you’ll experience a peaceful, faith-centered environment that reflects God’s design for relationship, love, and restoration. The evening will close with a brief prayer of blessing over each couple.
