Hall of Faith



Honoring Christian Leadership and Service through Our Hall of Faith


Our mission at Christian Village Communities is to guide older adults to joyful and purposeful life experiences in a faith-filled community. To fulfill that mission, we need the love, compassion and service of many people – from our staff members and volunteers.

That’s why we created the Hall of Faith as a way to honor individuals for their dedication to Christian leadership.

During our 2021 Hall of Faith Banquet, we honored Howard and Martha Brammer, Ken Henderson, and Lee Mason for their lifelong commitment to Christian leadership and service. Click each video to learn more.
