About Us

St. Joseph Commons – A Commercial Banquet & Conference Center Set as a Training Hub for Ministry, Training, Conferences, Meetings, Food Services, and Community Development.

Originally envisioned as a banquet and conference center, St. Joseph Commons has grown into a vibrant, multi-purpose facility serving a wide range of ministries, training enrichment programs, and community initiatives. Today, it operates as the central hub for several faith-based and professional organizations that work together to serve Northwest Ohio and beyond.

The facility now proudly hosts as a Multi-use Meeting Place and Conference Center for:

Corporate Meeting and Training Events (Scheduled in Advance)
Commercial Kitchen Rental – A permanent home base for Food Trucks, Caterers and Small Food Prep.
NWTI (Northwest Training Institute) – A remote training and conference site offering professional development and State CEU training for skilled trades and disaster response.
NWOCO (Northwest Ohio Community Outreach) – A non-profit ministry using the space for life skills training, charitable outreach, and community support services.
Black Swamp Conservation League – A community-focused conservation group that holds its meetings and events in our conference rooms.
Men of Virtue – A growing Apostolate and men’s ministry led by Deacon Dave Krempec and Kirk Ross, which gathers regularly at the Commons for formation, fellowship, and the recording of their new podcast.
Miracle Man Ministries – A faith-based evangelization initiative that hosts meetings, events, and ministry planning sessions on-site.

In support of media outreach and youth development, we have launched Faith & Fire Studios, a dedicated space for live-streaming, podcast recording, and video production. This studio serves as both a ministry tool and an educational platform, offering hands-on media training for youth and young adults.

Through a collaborative effort among NWOCO, NWTI, Freddy Spaghettis', the Black Swamp Conservation League, and the Order of Franciscan Seculars of Toledo, we have built a network of opportunity—providing free skills-based training, career advancement resources, and essential life skills education for individuals and families in need.

Bethlehem Kitchen – Feeding the Body and the Soul

Sponsored by NWTI, the Black Swamp Conservation League, and the Order of Franciscan Seculars, Bethlehem Kitchen is our outreach mission to serve free-will donation meals to the community. Prepared and overseen by our own in house culinary team, these hot, nourishing meals will be offered once a month, as funding allows, right here at St. Joseph Commons.

If you can give, give joyfully. But if you’re struggling or simply in need of a warm meal—it’s on us. No one will be turned away.

St. Joseph Commons is more than a building—it’s where faith meets action, training meets purpose, and community is strengthened through service, fellowship, and hope.
