Earlier this year, we shared presentations outlining the challenges and opportunities facing senior care and the future of this ministry. We are grateful for the thoughtful feedback, survey responses, and conversations that followed. After prayerful consideration, the Board of Directors has approved the Assisted Living building project at the Apostolic Christian Home of Eureka. We believe this project is an important step in meeting the future needs of seniors while strengthening the long-term sustainability of our mission. The design team is now finalizing plans and working to make the best use of resources as they prepare for construction bidding and final cost evaluation. We are thankful for the support expressed throughout this process, including the financial commitments already made toward this effort. We encourage continued prayers for wisdom, unity, and God's blessing as plans progress. Please prayerfully consider partnering with us through our capital campaign, “A Legacy of Care, A Future of Choice”. Donations designated for the Assisted Living Building Campaign will help support development of the new facility and the future ministry of the Home. Project updates will continue to be shared as significant milestones are reached. Please contact your local Board Members (Bro. Rod Hinrichsen & Bro. Darrell Stoller), with any questions or feedback. We thank God for His faithfulness over the past 60 years and look forward in faith as He continues to lead this ministry into the future.
