Welcome to the web presence for Haven Free Will Baptist Church. Haven is a friendly group where you can learn, connect, grow, and serve. 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.
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.
In Person and Online Services Available Now
The Haven Church leadership team has taken every precaution to allow us to open for in-building services safely, including provisions for distancing, masks, hand sanitizers, and self-cleaning nanoSeptic protection for door surfaces. With these measures in place we are now offering in-building services with limited capacity. We do ask that attendees wear masks at all times, from the time you leave your car, until you return to your car after the service.
We recognize many of our folks are torn between wanting to attend church for the fellowship, yet being fearful that you might put your family, or other members at risk. For these reasons, we offer both in-building services for those comfortable to attend, and Online services for those not ready to return in-person. We ask you to stay engaged for every service using our Facebook Live stream. We also offer opportunities for Bible studies online using the Zoom platform. During the spring months our services are scheduled as follows:
- Sunday Morning Worship at 10:30 am in person and on Facebook Live
- Sunday School for the entire church, Sunday afternoon at 5:30 pm on Zoom Meetings (Contact Us below for access info)
- Sunday Evening From the Pastor’s Study at 6:30 pm on Facebook Live
- Ladies Bible Study, Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm on Zoom Meetings (Contact Us below for access info)
- Wednesday Evening Worship Service at 7:30 pm in person and on Facebook Live
We are reminded that the Church is not a place, but it is the body of Christ – the people of God! Until we can all get together again, let us continue to trust our Savior, Jesus Christ all the more during this time of uncertainty!

Special Easter Services – April 4
We are all so excited about our Easter Services this year. Everyone looks forward to the Spring Season, and this year more than ever we can’t wait to get out of the house and see one another again. We are planning a great day of celebration at Haven Church, and we hope to see you there.
We will have 2 Easter Sunday worship services, the first at 8:30 am, and the second at our regularly scheduled time of 10:30 am. During the 9:30 hour Pastor Kevin will host an Easter Egg hunt on the grounds for kids of all ages. Immediately following both worship services, all first time guests will be invited to a meet and greet with Pastor Cliff and Student Ministries Pastor Kevin in the hospitality room. Each guest will receive free gifts just for attending, so we hope you will join us.
All Services are Streaming Online on Facebook or Zoom Meeting.

What About My Kids?
We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week – and at Haven Church, we make this a priority. During the 10:30 am service on Sundays we have Children’s Church for 3-5 year olds, where music, crafts, and Bible stories keep everyone involved. Our Junior Church is led by Youth Pastor Caleb Griffey for 6-12 year olds, and they can expect an exciting and interactive experience. Try to arrive a few minutes early and we’ll make sure everyone gets to the right place.
