Ronald Roe Messner (born August 1, 1935)[citation needed] is an American building contractor who has built more than 1,700 churches, including several megachurches.

[citation needed] Roe Messner gained fame with the construction of Heritage USA in 1978 at the behest of Jim Bakker.

In court papers, the new operators accused Messner of $5.3 million in inflated or phony billings to PTL.
