Yesterday at The Culpeper, we gathered to celebrate the people who make a difference in our community! 💙

Our Influencer Award and Volunteer Celebration, sponsored by ColonialWebb, a CSUSA Company and Comfort Systems USA Shoffner, honored the incredible impact made by residents who lead through service and heart.

We were proud to recognize Vince Skrinak as this year’s Influencer. The Virginia Baptist Homes Foundation Influencer Award recognizes a champion at each LifeSpire community who creates a positive impact by living out our values. From welcoming new team neighbors and encouraging team members to honoring our nation through 23 years of service, Vince is humble and steadfast, and it was our pleasure to honor him.

We also celebrated the many volunteers who show up day after day to support, uplift, and care for one another. Your generosity is the heartbeat of The Culpeper, and we are deeply grateful!

Congratulations, Vince, and thank you to all who make our community such a special place.

Happy 80th Anniversary to LifeSpire of Virginia and Virginia Baptist Homes!

More than 80 years ago, Dr. J.T. Edwards, Pastor of Culpeper Baptist Church, stood before Baptists in Virginia to present a question: "What are we doing to care for the aging adults in our communities?"

That question inspired the incorporation of Virginia Baptist Homes on March 25, 1946. It would grow into communities across the Commonwealth: The Culpeper, The Chesapeake Retirement Community, Lakewood Retirement Community, The Glebe Retirement Community , and most recently, The Summit in Lynchburg. It would expand to care at home through our program AgeSmart.

Today, his question is answered through LifeSpire of Virginia and our mission to empower individuals with choices in purposeful living, supported by the Virginia Baptist Homes Foundation, to continue his promise to provide for aging adults

We're excited to share the cover of our 80th-anniversary edition of Community Matters, celebrating the foundation laid over the past 80 years and committing to the next 80 years of faith, community, and wellness. Learn more at bit.ly/VBH-80

This Valentine's season, The Culpeper had the privilege of honoring seven couples who renewed their wedding vows, celebrating almost 400 cumulative years of marriage.

Each couple shared their advice for love that lasts, which has been included with their photo. Their words of wisdom range from “Marry your best friend” to “Saying, ‘Yes, dear,’” but common themes shone through: choosing one another with humility, laughter, and love through every season of life.
