It all began in a garden. A tree was nearby… the first union, marriage, institution of mankind. There once was a field where an old oak tree stood and Sheila and I would go there on dates, back in ’67. We dreamed of building a home near that tree over 52 years ago. It’s now in our back yard off of Whitehouse Road in Lloyd. The tree still stands, although it’s not living anymore.

Around the years 2000-2001 we started using the property for ministry to young college age men. They would spend a week-end going through a “right of passage” pointing them toward being Godly young men. In 2006, we established “Homestead Ministries, Inc.” to reach men on the fringe.

We recently dreamed of a place where couples could get a good start to a journey that could last a lifetime. If you are planning a wedding, looking for a “get away” corporate meeting, church or family gathering this barn was built just for you and your event.
