We see our marketplace ministries as an opportunity to serve the local body of Messiah as well as develop interactions with local businesses and people living and working in the community. In addition, our properties serve as a home for many local congregations and our facilities host a variety of events from conferences to cultural, governmental and educational gatherings. Some of our business initiatives, such as Café Forte and AV Gear Israel, provide support services to our greater family of ministries as well as to the local community and visiting ministries.
