a milestone year
2016-2017 Annual Report
A letter from our President
While we experienced a milestone year, there is one important item that did not change: the mission to honor God by Providing a continuum of excellent care and support services, primarily for older adults.
Our mission demands we continually evaluate the best way to serve residents and guests - whether that's in Lincoln, IL or Myanmar.
A new strategic plan will be completed in Fiscal Year 2018 - it will be mission driven so that all those entrusted to our care may live and age better.
Celebrate with us all the good changes in the milestone Fiscal Year of 2017!
By any measure fiscal year 2017 was a milestone year

Jake Bell accepted the position in October. Jake was named the President and COO. Following his acceptance, he and Dr. Phillippe worked closely together to ensure a smooth transition.

Hope on the Horizon
For Myanmar’s most vulnerable
Christian Horizons (CH) is extending its mission internationally by partnering with Myanmar Hope Christian Mission (MyHope) to provide a new pathway to well-being for older adults in Myanmar.
our commitment continues
Dr. Phillippe Leaves Mission-Oriented Legacy
Dr. Tim Phillippe came to Christian Horizons (CH), formerly Christian Homes Inc., in 2001. Under his leadership, the company has thrived. “Without question, the restoration of Christian Horizons’ financial health has been the single most important achievement during Dr. Phillippe’s leadership,” says Board Chairmen Ron Sewell.
With a vision and passion for this ministry, Dr. Phillippe worked with the Board of Directors to start a new position - VP Mission Integration. “The Board of Directors wants to make sure that Christian Horizons’ legacy is respected and fostered. The new
position will be important in maintaining our traditional values and behaviors in the policy decisions of the board, in dealing with employees and in our services to our residents,” Sewell explains. The goal is to have a culture that reflects the mission and spirit of our Christian heritage, through the daily work of each employee.
Dr. Phillippe announced his retirement in 2015. He understood the need of a great succession plan. After much consideration, the board offered the position to Jake Bell. Upon the announcement, Dr. Phillippe noted, “Jake Bell’s broad experience with all aspects of faith-based senior living is a good fit with CH culture.” Ron Sewell continues, “Jake Bell possesses a great blend of leadership and mission awareness that will be important in increasing our influence and maintaining Christian Horizons standing in the senior living industry.” Jake became CEO July 1, 2017.

Across Four States

Three of our communities recently changed their names:
Fair Havens Christian Village • Shawnee Christian Village • Wabash Christian Village
CH has implemented these changes to create consistency with our other communities that have “Christian Village” as part of their names. These three communities have expanded their levels of care in recent years and are more than just nursing homes. The new names can be used to describe the current range of services offered by each community today.
