Luckily, if you’re a missionary, member of the clergy, or a priest there are a few affordable retirement options. Places where you can have spiritual fulfillment by belonging to a faith-based community.

Bristol Village is a non-profit, faith-based, Christian-centered retirement community; nestled in the scenic Appalachian foothills of southern Waverly, Ohio. It’s owned and operated by the National Church Residences (NCR). They’re the nation’s largest non-profit developer of affordable senior housing.

"With its quiet, broad tree-lined streets, Bristol Village offered the neighborhood atmosphere of a typical Ohio village.
