Community

Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today. - Hebrews 3:13

Loving One Another • Here at South Haven, we recognize that loving one another is best done in community.

What do folks love about South Haven? Lots of things!

What I love about South Haven is that we continue to have a very intimate ‘family’ like community among our church family! People truly care about one another and are actively helping one another. Holly G.

I LOVE that the church is dedicated to helping people, whether it be mission trips, food pantry, Christmas store, dresses for girls in Haiti, Forrest Avenue or even the prayer lists; everyone pitches in to help! Sheila J.

I love our Sunday school class, and I love being in the Men’s Gospel Quartet. Jay S.

South Haven is a warm and friendly church. We speak the Truth with conviction but not condemnation. I am a widower and started coming to South Haven regularly after my wife passed away. I received so much love and support from many people. They are like another family. The Bible study and music worship are fantastic. I enjoy serving at South Haven and am looking forward to leading some people to get involved in some initiatives outside the walls of our church. Vince T.
