Facilities
When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. – 2 Chronicles 7:1
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. – Psalm 89:14-15
OUR FACILITIES
Everything about The Better Place facilities, as envisioned, is geared toward the support and fulfillment of the threefold mission of The Better Place.
The facilities must be comfortable, but not opulent. They must be able to accommodate large groups and individuals present for a personal retreat. They must be in a secluded and private area yet close to population centers were guests can go and practice what they are being taught about prayer-filled and prayer-backed ministry. – see Bylaws Article VI. – The Better Place campus shall be a place where people meet and know the transforming glorious presence of God.
We want to use this page to let you actually see The Better Place facilities as they are envisioned in Architect’s renderings. However, we know in God’s time, and through the gracious provision of His resources, we will see these facilities come to physical fruition. We now have an agreed-upon-price for the land and await funds for purchase. Once we have secured the property, funds will be needed to break ground, complete construction in phases, and endow the facilities to ensure their future fruitfulness.
Please dream with us as you view and envision the ministry that can take place at The Better Place.
You may read about the minimum we expect to have in regard to facilities in Article VI of the Bylaws. The facilities that are envisioned as being essential to The Better Place ministry are described at this point in the Bylaws.

This is the first of two architect’s renderings of the Better Place Worship Center. Imagine a facility dedicated to the teaching and refreshing of Pastors, Leaders, and People of all nations. This will be a true House of Prayer for all Nations filled with sounds of praise and prayer.

For several years The Better Place served as the “umbrella” for the “Healing Rooms” ministry in Jamestown, NY. This is a ministry that was initiated by The Better Place in cooperation with Healing Rooms International of Spokane, WA. – Over the years, The Healing Rooms borrowed the facilities of several different churches and organizations at the convenience of those entities. – At the present time, The Healing Rooms have gone “fallow” until The Better Place is able to locate them in our own facilities. – Many people were dramatically healed of physical ailments over the years that we offed this ministry. Perhaps even more “thanks-producing” than the healings are the many salvations that occurred as the Gospel of Jesus Christ was shared with the people who came for healing. It will be good to get this ministry going again in our own facilities!
It’s great when pastors promote books written by The Better Place Director to their congregations. This photo of the late Pastor Rodney Mileham of the East Randolph, NY United Methodist Church was taken at a retreat where our Director, Roy Miller, was the keynote speaker. – It will be even greater when churches can come to The Better Place campus for their retreats and find a fully stocked Bookstore there with many resources to help them to be a House of Prayer for the Nations.
