Bill Rice, John R. Rice, and scores of other preachers both past and present have preached in the John R. Rice Auditorium since its’ construction. Many thousands have trusted Christ or answered His call to ministry in this very spot. In short, this is a special place which has but one purpose and has been fulfilling that purpose for over fifty years.

Now the time has come for a bit of a face-lift. In September, we will begin extensive renovations including two large monitor screens, a new ceiling with canned lighting, and new paint, windows, and gutters. We believe we can do all of this for $70,000. Would you prayerfully consider giving toward the Auditorium Renovations? Any amount will help, and anything above the amount needed will go to additional auditorium improvements.Would you prayerfully consider giving to the John R. Rice Auditorium Renovation Project?

We would like to invite you to the Friendship Banquet here on the Ranch on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at 6:30pm in the Dining Hall. The gate will be open at 5:30pm if you would like to take a tour of the Ranch. After we have enjoyed a delicious steak dinner, I will share how camp went this summer. Then, anyone who wishes to can contribute to the John R. Rice Auditorium Renovation Project. Please email mdowns@billriceranch.org if you are planning to attend. Thank you for your interest in this ministry and for your prayers and support! We are very blessed indeed by your friendship and by all the projects we have been able to complete over the last five years. We look forward to letting you know about the completed renovations and welcoming you onto the Ranch the next time you come.
