Coronavirus Update – March 21, 2020
The Haven Church leadership team continues to monitor and take action based on the ever-evolving Coronavirus situation. Last Sunday morning, we did hold our Morning Worship services at the church, and we were actually covered by the News and Observer at this link. As the situation is continuing to progress, we have decided to facilitate all Worship Services online only at their regularly scheduled times for now. Click here for more details, on our service times and how you can connect to our streaming platforms. We have had several inquiries into church giving. We are asking everyone not to put tithe and offering checks in the mail. Since we’re not at the church every day there is a risk that your gifts could be stolen from the mailbox. We highly recommend our Realm secure on-line giving platform at http://onrealm.org/havenfwbchurch/ to continue your giving to Haven Church. If you’re new to Realm, you can click Register Now and our Treasurer, David will get you set up quickly.
We are reminded that the Church is not a place, but it is the body of Christ – the people of God! We continue to encourage all of our members and friends to take caution, use common sense, and take appropriate measures to help curtail the spread of the virus. In the meantime, let us continue to trust our Savior, Jesus Christ all the more during this time of uncertainty
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.
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.

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.

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 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.
