HISTORY
In 1910, a group of pastors and laity decided to create an organization that treated all aspects of a person’s well-being: emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual.
Initially formed by and for members of the Reformed Church in America and the Christian Reformed Church in America, Pine Rest today is a faith-based organization serving a multitude of individuals from many cultures and religions. Pine Rest offers quality services to people regardless of their race, color, creed or national origin.
We are tremendously grateful for the work done by Pine Rest and all of our Spotlight organizations.
