Messiah’s Mansion Comes to Mountain View

Story by Megan Garcia

In mid-spring, more than 2,300 people toured Messiah’s Mansion in Logan, W.Va. Community member Andrea White from Chapmanville, W.Va., summarized her experience perfectly: “It was an amazing tour, and it was very interesting and eye-opening!”

Messiah’s Mansion is a traveling, full-scale model of the Mosaic sanctuary—just like Moses built in the wilderness—with daily tours given by knowledgeable youth and volunteers. The exhibit has been viewed across North America, and its founder, Clayton Leinneweber, has been actively and zealously spreading the message of the sanctuary for more than 40 years!

From the colorfully striped curtains in the courtyard to the Ark of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place, every single detail of Messiah’s Mansion is perfectly portrayed and symbolically demonstrated to show just how Jesus is reflected in every inch of the sanctuary.

Visitor Emma Baisden from Crum, W.Va., shares, “I very much enjoyed the comparison given of the sacrifices of the Israelites and Jesus’ sacrifice for me.” And an anonymous community member praised, “Most of all, they took the time to illustrate how it was a shadow of Jesus. They showed and told that believing in Jesus and His sacrifice is the only way to heaven.” What a wonderful way to tell somebody about Jesus!
