Retirement Homes Ministry

The Original Free Will Baptist Retirement Homes is the youngest of the denomination’s ministries, having its beginnings in 1974 during the

62 nd Annual Session of the Convention of Original Free Will Baptists.

The ministry was officially established on January 1, 1975.

In February of that year, a charter was issued by the State of North Carolina.

Original plans called for apartment-type living located adjacent

to the Children’s Home property; however, a change in policy allowed for

community-based homes or apartments.

Known as “People Helping People,” the Retirement Homes offers community-based homes or apartments, placement services for retired families who

need supervision, and cash payments for those who continue to live at their

own location. Support for the ministry is based on two main sources:

residents of the homes, and Original Free Will Baptist churches,

individuals and related organizations.
