About Haven Church
Our Mission & Vision
The mission of Haven FWB Church is to follow the Great Commandments – to love God and love our neighbors, and follow the Great Commission – to make disciples throughout all the nations. We achieve this by edifying and training the believers, and by means of outreach. In all that we do we want to bring honor and glory to the name of Jesus Christ.
What We Believe …
Leadership
Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ

Knowing Where To Go

They can also assist you to the nursery, Sunday School classes, or to all the various services. Make sure you get your free gift just for being our guest!
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. For every service there is a safe and clean nursery available for your infant children. During the 11 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 and his wife, Ben and Holly Hobbs 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.

Sharing The Gospel!
Haven Church is eager to provide links to our weekly sermons. If you hear a sermon you’d like to share with others, send them a link to our website or let us know and we are happy to send you a CD. Simply send us a message and tell us the title or date and time of the sermon.
Streaming Services
We have begun a new ministry of streaming live HD video of our services to the Haven Church Facebook page using Facebook Live! You can tune in live if you are traveling or under the weather and cannot be in church. Look for us during regular service times at this link, or you can find past services there after the live stream is over.
We also publish sermon audio on our Sermons page so you can easily listen online whenever it’s convenient for you.
Hearing Assistance Available
We now have devices for hearing assistance available to you for all services. This very discrete unit can fit in your pocket and it has a volume control to adjust the sound level up or down to meet your needs. Pastor Donoho only asks that you don’t turn him off completely! Stop by the sound booth to give it a try.
