Other ways to help the community
There's a revolution of compassion taking root in our community.
At The Barn, we're pioneering a way of bringing people together – where every wedding celebration, event, and corporate gathering becomes an opportunity to heal and restore lives. That’s why we’ve been calling it 'The Sanctuary at The Barn' for the past few months... and that name has never meant more.
Here, on this property we're blessed to steward, we're building a true sanctuary. This isn't just a place for church gatherings –
It's a living testament to what happens when people come together as one.
In our beautiful event venue 'The Lodge,' every moment creates impact. Wedding couples begin their journey of love while helping write stories of restoration. Corporate teams build their success while building hope for others. Each celebration and conference helps provide safe housing and healing for survivors of trafficking. Every gathering funds healing conversations in our counseling rooms and stocks our food pantry. This is more than a place where Christians gather once or twice a week – it's where business meets benevolence, where celebration becomes salvation, and where every dollar does triple duty in transforming lives.
From the survivor finding safety and a new start, to the 7-year-old who finally has enough food in her lunchbox, to the elderly veteran finding hope through counseling – we're weaving a tapestry of care that touches every generation, bringing our community together as one family under God.
Your gift, no matter the size, becomes part of something bigger. It turns wedding dances and corporate meetings into second chances. Event preparations into protection. Moments of celebration into movements of transformation.
Join us in this adventure of healing and purpose. Help us create a lasting legacy where every event – from intimate weddings to corporate gatherings – sparkles with eternal significance, and every act of giving ripples outward in endless circles of hope.
This is what we like to call “comprehensive ministry” – where the sacred and the marketplace come together to bring light into the darkest places.
WHAT DO WE NEED?
To fully launch The Lodge and activate our comprehensive compassion initiative, we need to raise $500,000 in the next 30 days. Your gift today will immediately multiply into sustainable funding for survivor care, counseling services, and food assistance through our event venue operations.
This could happen through:
500 people giving $1,000 each
or 50 people giving $10,000 each
