An excerpt from the “History of Epworth Villa:”
In the third year of his tenure (1983,) Bishop John Wesley Hardt, a man of action rather than dreams, asked Dr. Charles Wells, Director of Children, Youth and Family Ministries and Dr. Elwyn Thurston, Director of the United Methodist Foundations to explore possibilities of including such a retirement facility in the ministry of The Oklahoma Conference of the The United Methodist Church.”
That was just the beginning…..stay tuned for more of the history of Epworth Villa.
