A place to be known,
loved, and made new.
The Haven is a casual, come-as-you-are church built on grace, honesty, and the Word of God, for anyone starting out, starting over, or going deeper.
What Makes Us, Us
Come as you are.
Stay as long as it takes.
We’re a Bible-based, Spirit-led community with strong apostolic roots, casual on the outside and deep on the inside. We practice baptism in the name of Jesus and hold onto the truth of Scripture without losing the warmth of a room where everyone belongs.
Many of us are on our own road of healing or recovery, so honesty isn’t just welcome here, it’s expected. We want depth without formality, and the presence of God without pretense.
Join Us
Twice a week
to belong.
Thursday
6:30 – 7:30 PM
Relaxed and interactive: real conversation, real relationships, and a faith that grows through the week, not just on Sundays.
While adults gather, kids enjoy games, activities, and a safe space to make new friends.
Sunday
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Coffee & Community kicks off at 10:00 AM. Grab a cup, meet someone new, catch up with friends before we gather.
Then: heartfelt worship and practical, Bible-centered teaching for everyday life. HVN Kids runs alongside for the little ones.
Who We Are
Four things we chase
after, together.
01
Connect with God
We center on God through prayer, worship, and Scripture, helping each of us know Him personally.
02
Find freedom
A safe space to bring your struggles, leave behind what holds you back, and experience God’s freedom together.
03
Grow in truth
Through discussion, teaching, and real-life application, we discover God’s purpose for our lives.
04
Support each other
Life is better together. We encourage one another, share our stories, and serve our community.
Scripture
We’re a Bible-based church. Scripture is our ultimate authority.
God & Jesus
There is one God: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit.
Sin & Salvation
Everyone has sinned. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus, by God’s grace.
The Gospel
We follow the pattern of repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit.
Christian Living
We love God and others, empowered by the Holy Spirit to live it out daily.
The Future
Jesus Christ will return. There will be a final resurrection and judgment.
Big fun. Big smiles.
Growing faith.
Every Sunday, kids experience a fun, safe, and engaging environment where they build friendships, enjoy exciting activities, and discover God’s love in a way that’s meaningful for their age.
Our team is passionate about helping every child feel welcomed, valued, and excited to come back week after week.
