he Eagle Rock Retreat Center in Eagle Rock, Missouri, began as a ministry for boys. In 1986, the Royal Rangers purchased land in southwestern Missouri for an Ozark mountain retreat that would help turn boys into godly men by combining outdoor adventure with lessons in Christian service and biblical training. The Assemblies of God opened the retreat center to the public so other denominations could experience similar spiritual strengthening and fellowship. Today, groups ranging from small to large can host Christian-based retreats at the Eagle Rock Retreat Center for a getaway that both relaxes and energizes the soul.
