Three partners felt the call to purchase a 23-acre former chapel property outside downtown Rockford and develop it into a Christ-centered, independent-living community for special needs individuals.
The development has one home in use and plans to construct others on the property in the future. The home is focused on providing independent living for young adults with special needs who require some assistance with daily tasks.
Rockford-area residents Brian and Sara Boven said they felt called to purchase the property in 2019. At the time, the property included a large home, a former chapel and plenty of green space.
