A History of Faithful Service

More than 40 years ago a dream began to grow in the hearts of a faithful Methodist couple. They dreamed of building a retirement home for those they loved.  Minnie Lines Sauber Johns and her husband Roy, planted the first seed of their dream when they gave sixteen acres of land to the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Their dream took hold and began to grow in the hearts of others as they envisioned a retirement community unlike any other. Through the years with the vision and dedication of community leaders like John R. Van Sickle, Robert A. Mulligan, Harold McElvany, Robert Skolrood, Wayne H. Diehl, and Administrator Edwin S. Hunt, along with the continued generosity of Minnie Johns and many like her, including the Northern Illinois Conference of the UMC, the project took life and began to grow.
