In August of 2015, Steve and Ruth Grubbs resigned their multi-role positions on staff at the Shenandoah Baptist Church which they began 27 years ago. After vacationing in Maine during several of their wedding anniversaries, they saw the great need for solid, soul-winning, Bible-centered churches in that state. Although they were busy in their ministries there at Shenandoah, traveling for the Shenandoah Ranch and Haven and raising funds to assist those ministries, God had planted a seed there that continued to grow.
