Whether you are hurt, confused, looking for somewhere to belong, or just plain curious, there is a place for you here. Our goal is to make every worship gathering welcoming to the guest and challenging to the heart and mind. Though located on the Southwest side of Raleigh, we are pleased to be made up of people from Cary, Holly Springs, Garner, and many other areas of the triangle region. Our physical address for your GPS is 5408 Tryon Road, Raleigh, NC 27606.
When you visit Haven, you will be greeted with a warm handshake and a friendly smile. From the time you drive onto our campus, you will find that our members want nothing more than for your experience to be a positive one. We have convenient, reserved parking spaces located near the front entrance for our first-time guests. When you walk through the doors of our church, our greeters, ushers, and members want to help you. Whether it is to our worship center, the nursery, the children’s ministry, or to a Bible study class, you will soon discover that Haven has something for everyone in your family.
Thank you for visiting havenfwbchurch.org. It is our prayer that you will not just visit our website but that you will visit us in person. We would love to welcome you into our church family and to a new life in Christ. We hope that you will join us for worship soon at Haven.
