Wedding and Conference Venue
Messianic Refuge is working to implement four key types of special projects.
Main Facility, Tabernacle and Wedding Venue
The 12,000 sq. ft. multipurpose building is under construction and will be under roof before winter 2023. The first floor is partially in ground with a commercial kitchen that can serve and seat up to 300 in a family seating style. Both inside and outside seating on the spacious deck and patio seating to enjoy the majestic views.
The main floor is at ground level will be the lecture teaching, worship hall and stage. The 3rd floor is a loft area that opens to the Amish made post and beam timber frame construction. This area will have offices for professional counseling and study library.

Building Cabins
When a team comes home and demobilized, we know that they need time to reconnect with their families. Our goal is to create facilities that will give them a special environment and opportunity to spend weekends in a quiet, peaceful setting where they can do just that. We will also be offering cabins for the hospice care of soldiers, giving them a dedicated space for their final days. We invite leaders to host SOF community events, pre-deployments, home comings and other important events.
Three times a year we will gather to remember and celebrate the Holy Biblical Feasts to celebrate Pesach (Passover), Shavuot and Sukkot (Feast of Booths) as well as times for sporting, hunting , boating and fishing with over 17 ft. deep and over 2,000 ft. of pristine Ohio Brush Creek.
Infrastructure
Our infrastructure projects include the building of our over 3,000 ft. main road, springs and water lines, electrical lines, RV sites with utilities and dump stations, camp sites for tenting, tree houses and trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.
Chapel / Mishkan
The Chapel will be available for teaching and worship services. A natural spring above the Chapel will feed a stone formed mikvah (bath) for purifying immersions that are traditional or biblically indicated. Traditionally the man and the woman would each immerse to ritually purify before the wedding ceremony. Biblically, The mikveh (baptism) is an integral part of the New Birth described in the B'rit Chadasha (New Covenant). A complete external immersion in water (mikveh) is performed to declare that an internal change has taken place. We believe in mikveh by immersion; and that all who repent should be mikvehed in the name (authority) of Yeshua. Jeremiah 31:31-34, Ezekiel 39:29.
Planning and organizing the construction is taking place this February 2021 and we will need a full team to help in this project.
