residents occupy their own apartments and manage their own daily
living requirments. Independent living is availible only to qualified
retired Presbyterian ministers, missionaries, Certified Christian
Educators, Certified Musician Associates, and Commissioned Lay Pastors.
Who qualifies?
A minister, missionary, Certified Christian Educator, Certified

20 years or more may apply for residency at the Grove at age 62.
Qualified applicants may be accepted for admission on campus between
the ages of 65 and 80.
How Do I Apply?
If you meet the qualifications, all you
need to do is contact the Monte Vista Grove
Homes (MVGH) office and request an application.
Once you have completed and
returned the application along with a small non-refundable processing
fee, we will confirm your years of service with the Board of Pensions
and submit your application to our Resident Relations Committee
and Board of Trustees. We will then notify you of the Board’s action.
If you are ready to move
within 18 months, you’ll want to start the process right away by
planning to visit MVGH and tour available apartments. If you are
planning farther into the future, we will put you on our waiting
list and contact you by mail each year to obtain an update on your
retirement plans.
