Historique
The Robb Centre opened in 1987, under the sponsorship of the former Great Lakes Conference, and with the generous support of the General Conference. The Robb Centre is named in appreciation and memory of Rev. James and Ora Robb, a former Free Methodist pastor and his wife who were among the founding committee members instrumental in organizing the establishment of the Centre in 1987.
