Mission, Vision, Values
Fair Haven Church is a harbor of hope where we:
Celebrate Christ Authentically
Cultivate Life in Christ Personally
Care for One Another Unconditionally
Communicate Christ Intentionally
To be a life-giving church--
transformed by Jesus Christ,
empowered by the Holy Spirit,
living out God's Word as we engage in
life-giving relationships,
life-giving ministry, and make a
in our community and world
We, the Christians of Fair Haven, believe God calls us to be:
A worship immersed church in which we love and praise God through our corporate worship and with our whole lives, holy and pleasing to Him. (Psalm 150, Nehemiah 8:1-12, Romans12:1-2)
A Bible-based church in which the inspired Word of God is preached, taught, explained and experienced as we participate in God's truth revealed through out history. (II Timothy 3:16 - 17)
A prayer-permeated church in which prayer increasingly impacts our individual lives and our lives together. (Phil. 4:6-7, Mark 11:17)
A high-commitment church in which participating Christians are challenged and equipped to:
- Exhibit an authentic personal relationship with Jesus Christ. (Acts 16:29-31)
- Demonstrate the fruit of the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)
- Serve Christ in the context of Fair Haven Ministries according to our gifts, passion and call to ministry, including personal sacrifice. (I Peter 4:10 -11, Matthew 5:11-12)
- Grow spiritually as disciples of Jesus. (Matthew 28:18-20)
- Connect with other Christians for the purpose of encouragement and accountability, enhancing our oneness in Christ here and throughout the church of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 6:1-5, John 17:20-23)
- To be faithful stewards in all of life, including our financial resources. The biblical principle of tithing (ten percent of gross income) serves as our guideline. (Psalm 24:1-2, Malachi 3:6-1
An outreach-focused church with a passion for the lost and a commitment to help those in need. Fair Haven Ministries' outreach is expressed in local evangelism, church multiplication and global missions in which all believers are called to participate. (Acts 1:8, Matthew 25:31- 46)
We believe God calls Fair Haven to be body of believers that serves the one true God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who created the universe, redeemed us through Jesus Christ and empowers us through the Holy Spirit. We hold to an evangelical and reformed understanding of the Christian Faith. We serve God through expressive worship, personal transformation and credible witness.
