Our mission is creating spaces for God to work.  Therefore, our primary focus is on providing a unique home-like environment that offers beauty, peace, tranquility and relaxation while also providing comfortable and functional spaces that meet a variety of individual and group needs.  What takes place at the Blessing House depends on who God brings here to bless.  Individuals, groups and organizations fill the Blessing House with their own activities.

Although anyone can literally walk in, flop on the couch or sit by the lake and read a book, study, pray, or simply rest, groups need to reserve their space to ensure availability.   Ministry-related use of space is offered at no charge in most cases.   Although there is no cost to use space for ministry activities, the Blessing House Ministries is only able to fulfill our mission through the generosity of many people sharing their time, talents and financial resources by blessing it forward.  These donations are tax deductible. 
We are happy to host business groups and family celebrations for a nominal rental fee.  These fees are not tax deductible. 

Each of our spaces is described below along with the suggested donation amount for ministry-related groups and the rental fee for business groups and family celebrations.
