Faith-Based Roots Inspire a Shared Dream

  “…love your neighbour as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.”
— Mark 12:31

Over 20 years ago, members of several church groups discussed the idea of seniors’ housing incorporating a rural perspective. The challenges were many, and at the time the project was not able to move forward. But the idea stuck, the dream lived on, and plans began anew.

In 2021, a small group began talking over coffee. As the group formed a secure plan, their vision grew, and their plan proceeded into tangible actions and achievements. 

Today, Pennock Village is closer than ever to becoming what that original vision was –  a supportive, vibrant retirement community.

Governed with Integrity

Pennock Village is operated under a Not-for-Profit organization, N.W.O. Rural Christian Seniors Village Inc. (NWORCSVI), and governed by a volunteer Board of Directors through Christian-based values.

The Board is made up of local community members, skilled in various areas including project development, leadership, entrepreneurship, and other areas of expertise. Prudent, responsible and sustainably-run, this Board is working to create a secure and enjoyable lifestyle choice for our local seniors.

It began with a dream, and is slowly becoming an exciting reality – to provide a supportive retirement community within a unique rural setting, offering homeowners a fulfilling lifestyle as they transition through life.
