1272 Carlyon Road
Preserving History, Transforming Lives
The Ministerial and Educational Resource Center will serve as a sanctuary of hope, rejuvenation, and restoration, all set within the confines of a beautifully restored historic home in East Cleveland, Ohio. Built in 1908, this house is not only a piece of history, but will serve as a gateway to a brighter future for generations to come.
About 1272 Carlyon Road
1272 Carlyon Road was the home of Barton R. Deming, one of Cleveland's first major real estate developers. In 1904 Barton and his brother Grant formed the The Deming Brothers Company, located at Superior Avenue and Carlyon Road. Along with renowned builder Phil H. Marquard, they built "Homes of Quality" on the Carlyon allotment and across Northeast Ohio.
"True safety isn't determined by our location (lions' den, fiery furnance, valley of the shadow of death, passing through fire or water). It comes with trust in the One who goes with us regardless of where we are."
- Pastor Arthur Jackson, Our Daily Bread
Restore and Uplift
The Ministerial and Educational Resource Center will also serve as that vital spiritual link between those with skills and services to offer, and those needing support.
Guests of the center can look forward to being able to study or relax with a book beside one of the historic home’s four fireplaces, meditate outdoors on the terrace or in the peaceful gardens, interact with mentors, conduct Bible research, and many other enriching opportunities. Gathering around the dining room table for a home-cooked meal and authentic connection with new friends is something to look forward to.
