The Key Center is a facility in Citrus County for those with special learning needs. People from Seven Rivers visit weekly to offer Bible study and worship to residents of the Key Center.  Residents of the Key Center also attend worship services at Seven Rivers the first and third Sundays of each month.

Here's just a few things volunteers are saying about working with the Key Center Ministry:

"When we first decided to volunteer at the Key Center we thought it would be a good ministry for us to get involved in and we could befriend some of 'these' folks and teach them about Christ at the same time. Kind of kill two birds with one stone. Then we went. Then we met them. Then we fell in love with them. Then they taught us about love. Then they taught us how to pray. Then they taught us about loving each other and Christ unconditionally. Then we realized they were teaching us lots more than we ever taught them. Now we thank God for them and the way they are ministering to us. They are truly special and we look forward to our time with them."

"I like being with the Key Center people and seeing their wonderful simple child like faith that I know God Himself is pleased with. Their joy and excitement when coming to worship on Sunday is something to behold and is encouraging and exciting to me." 

"In the three years that I have been going to Key Pine Village there have been many evenings that I feel too tired to "go out another night this week." But, I have never, ever come away from a time there that I didn't feel revived and blessed. It is pure joy for me to look upon the faces of the clients at the Key Center and see their eager, boundless faith. They truly get the gospel in an innocent and delightful way that grounds me in the simple, yet overwhelming promise of the cross. Their hugs, kisses, handshakes and attention help me to see the Fathers love more intimately and it is an experience that I treasure."
