This is the gymnasium (AKA Wildside (Jr High) room)

This is a blurry picture of Kyle setting up the marque for open house. This will normally have the name of our current high school series. This is the entrance to the theater where the high school ministry meets. Pictures will come later of the inside.

____________

This is the 1/2 court basketball court.
____________

This is one of the many ministry-related walls in the Refinery. This particular wall currently is dedicated to the Global Soles Ministry. Students collected over 30,000 pairs of shoes to be distributed around the world. The goal is to collect 50,000. They’re well on their way. There are several ministries highlighted throughout the Refinery. More pics to come later.
____________

This is another ministry-related wall. One of our recently-graduated students competes in the X-Games and has won many awards. He and some of his fellow competitors have formed a ministry called Riders For Christ. They travel around doing motorcycle stunts and sharing the gospel. They’re having an amazing impact.
____________

This incredibly dark picture is of the ping pong table in the game area.
____________

This is obviously one of our pool tables. What is not so obvious is that the student on the right is playing his pool cue like a guitar. We’re still trying to help him understand how this game is played.

You’ll notice the clocks in the background on the wall. That is another one of the ministry walls dedicated to missions. Under each clock is a picture of students in a different part of the world for mission projects. The clocks are set to the local time of each country the pictures represent.
____________

This is a gigantic fan that hangs above the Refinery’s game area. It’s a super cool design element that adds to the feel they were going for.
____________

This is a bike I saw sitting behind the Refinery Sunday night. I thought it was kind of funny so I took a picture of it. You may be able to see some red writing in the bottom picture. It reads, “Jesus loves me… more than he loves you.” I laughed when I saw it.
____________

This is one of the waterfalls in front of the building. There are a couple more smaller ones off to the right of where this picture is taken.
____________

This is the baptistery which is situated beside the waterfall in the picture above. The first baptism took place last Sunday night after the open house was over. It was amazing. Next weekend we will have our first baptism open to the student ministry.
