Original Free Will Baptist Retirement Homes is a Christian Ministry and a non-profit corporation. It began with a concern for our retiring people and was authorized by the then State Convention of Original Free Will Baptists in 1974. In the beginning, its governing board was a combination of the boards of the Children’s Home and the Minister’s Program. It applied for and received non-profit status as a North Carolina Corporation in early 1975. The first location was on the campus of the Children’s Home. Later, It was modified to have its own board and its offices were moved to Ayden, in the O.F.W.B. Headquarters.

During the ensuing years there have been many ups and downs, but it appears that the program is now stable, for which we all thank God very much. This program is to provide housing assistance for Original Free Will Baptists and for others who have been employed by a Free Will Baptist Ministry for a minimum of ten years. Moreover, the purpose of our ministry is to meet otherwise unmet needs.
