Welcome to Grace Haven
Grace Haven Church was born out of a deep desire to create a spiritual community that embraces all people, regardless of where or how they worship. The journey to starting this church began with a personal experience that left me questioning the inclusivity of traditional religious practices. I remember a time when a close Christian friend judged me harshly for not belonging to a traditional church. It was a painful moment, one that made me feel isolated and misunderstood, simply because my way of connecting with God didn’t fit into their mold.
This experience led me to reflect on how many people, like myself, might feel judged or excluded because they don't follow a conventional path of worship. I realized that there are countless ways to connect with the Divine, and that every individual’s spiritual journey is unique. This church was founded on the belief that worship should be accessible, inclusive, and free from judgment.
At Grace Haven Church, we believe that there is no right or wrong way to worship. Whether you connect with your faith through traditional services, remote worship, or in the quiet moments of your daily life, we welcome you with open arms. We understand that life is busy, and not everyone has the time or ability to attend church in person. That’s why we offer innovative remote worship services that fit into your schedule, wherever you are.
In addition to our flexible worship options, we provide a range of services designed to support you on your spiritual journey. From personalized pastoral counseling to our unique service for families seeking private school recommendations, we’re here to meet your needs. We’re also developing a homeschool co-op enrichment program specifically for high school students, focused on both academic growth and building meaningful friendships.
Grace Haven Church is a place where you can be yourself, explore your faith at your own pace, and connect with a community that values diversity and inclusivity. We are committed to making spirituality accessible to all, without the constraints of traditional expectations.
Join us, and discover a place where your unique spiritual journey is not just accepted, but celebrated.
What We Believe
At Grace Haven Church, we believe that everyone’s spiritual journey is unique and that there are many ways to connect with the Divine. We are guided by the principles of inclusivity and universal acceptance, inspired by the Universal Life Church (ULC). We honor diversity in faith and welcome people of all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their spiritual path.
Our faith is centered on love, respect, and service. We understand that many people feel excluded or judged in traditional religious settings, but at Grace Haven Church, you will find a welcoming environment that allows you to explore your beliefs without pressure or fear. Our church celebrates individual connections to faith and provides opportunities for spiritual growth through remote worship, pastoral counseling, and community services. We are committed to offering a space where every person feels valued, supported, and encouraged to deepen their connection to the Divine in their own way.
Our Vision for 2023
As we move forward in 2023, Grace Haven Church is focused on expanding our impact and building a stronger community.
Our vision is rooted in creating more accessible and flexible ways for people to connect with their faith and with one another.
We recognize that modern life is busy, and that’s why we are dedicated to enhancing our remote worship services, making it easier for everyone to join in regardless of location or schedule.
In addition to our worship services, we are excited to further develop our homeschool co-op for high school students. Our goal is to provide a supportive, faith-based environment where students can grow academically and spiritually while forming lasting friendships. This co-op will offer enrichment programs designed to meet both educational needs and the social needs of homeschooling families, creating a vibrant community of learners.
Moreover, we are committed to offering personalized pastoral counseling services, tailored to each individual’s unique spiritual journey. We believe that spiritual guidance should be accessible to everyone, and we aim to provide support that helps individuals navigate life’s challenges with faith and compassion. In 2023, we envision Grace Haven Church continuing to grow as a place where all people can find spiritual nourishment, friendship, and a sense of belonging.
