Lancaster Bible College is growing, and with that growth comes the need for innovative, mission-driven housing solutions. In response, LBC and Calvary Homes, an independent senior living community affiliated with Tandem Living, have partnered to create Charger Hall @Calvary — a Christ-centered student housing initiative that blends Christian community, independent living and intergenerational connection.

The exciting announcement on June 10, 2025, garnered local and regional media attention, as newspapers and television stations were eager to tell this unique story to the community.
