Our goal is to make every worship gathering welcoming to the guest and challenging to the heart and mind.

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 …
Pastor Cliff Donoho
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.

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.
