About Faith Community of The Brethren Home
-
Founded in 1992, the Faith Community is a Church of the Brethren congregation that offers a home church to those living at Cross Keys Village, and also to visitors and to neighboring communities. We are ecumenical in many ways, reflecting the variety of denominations in our community. Volunteers are vital to this body of believers, serving as greeters, escorts for those with a physical need, ushers, musicians, and more. Cross Keys Village’s handsome Nicarry Meetinghouse, dedicated in 2000. The Faith Community celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017.
Our chaplains provide spiritual nurturing to residents, team members, families and volunteers involved with Cross Keys Village. The department offers pastoral visits, Bible studies, weekly devotions, a midweek Ecumenical Service (on Wednesday afternoon), confidential assistance to individuals with a spiritual need, and participation in support groups. We engage in traditional expressions of faith, and also in more innovative directions when such an approach is needed to accommodate the unique needs of our residents. It is our belief that mobility or memory impairment should be no impediment to a spiritually fulfilled life.
