Our Vision

We believe everyone needs the hope Jesus offers, so our passion is to help people find that hope and grow in a relationship with Him. We emphasize grace and acceptance, yet we’re equally passionate about truth, as we help people understand who Jesus is and how to take the next right step in their journey of faith.

“We are better
together.”

DAVID SMITH

Follow Jesus

By following Jesus, you can receive the grace and forgiveness He offers. This decision can begin with a prayer as simple as this:

Thank you, Jesus, for dying on the cross for my sin, and offering me grace and forgiveness so that I can have peace with God. I want to follow You with my whole life, and I humbly ask You to lead me into a relationship with You.

Baptism

Baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. It symbolizes a believer finding new life in Jesus and publicly identifying himself or herself as a Christ-follower. Baptism takes place during Sunday morning worship services on various dates at each of our campuses.

Lend a Hand

We believe that lending a hand helps us grow closer to Jesus and find hope – and sharing our time and talents is a key part of that. We have opportunities for you to lend a hand by serving at Fairhaven, in our community, and around the world.

Dedicate my child

Your child’s dedication is your public declaration to commit yourself to raise your child to know Christ as their Savior, and that you commit yourself, as parents, to provide an environment in which that can happen. Child Dedication services are offered twice per year at each of our campuses.

Membership

Any Christ-follower who regularly attends Fairhaven Church is welcome to become part of our covenant membership. Membership events are offered twice per year at each of our campuses.

There are three parts of a membership event:

Attend a 60-minute class on our history, beliefs, denomination and membership covenant
An interview by an elder or a pastor about your spiritual journey, which happens right after the class
Be received into covenant membership during a special reception at a later date

Join a small group

Life is better lived in circles than in rows, which is why community is so important to us. Small groups are made up of 8-12 people who meet in homes for study, discussion and prayer. You can join an existing group, start your own or form a “test drive” small group to test out the small group experience for a single sermon series.

Share your story, submit prayer request, or let us know about your experience today.

Christmas Gift

Christmas will be here before we know it, and it’s time for our annual Christmas Gift project.

This year, instead of filling a bin with a list of items, you can simply buy individual gifts to help us create a Christmas Store right here on our campus.

Gifts can be purchased and dropped off at the campus on Sunday mornings or during regular business hours, or purchased online and shipped to the campus.

Stop by the Welcome Center or visit our website for a gift list.

Please return all gifts by Sunday, December 13.

Is Hell Real?

The End
“Is Hell Real?”
Matthew 13:36-52

78% believe in Heaven
60% believe in Hell
4% believe they are going there

Is Hell real?
Isn’t life on earth hell enough?

When we stop talking about hell we begin to live like the end doesn’t matter as long as you’re sincere.

3 views of hell

Universalism = ultimately all will be saved from hell — Matthew 25:41
Annihilationism = period of punishment; cease to exist
Traditional = endless, conscious punishment by deeds forever — Luke 23:33-43

Matthew 13:36-52

What is Hell like? — Matthew 13:49-50

Relational suffering — 1 Corinthians 16:22
Physical suffering — Luke 16:19-21
Spiritual suffering — Revelation 9, 11, 17, 20
Emotional suffering — 2 Thessalonians 1:9

Understanding
Accepting

Why talk about it?

Jesus takes it seriously — Romans 2:5-6

“…died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven…” — The Apostles Creed

Demolishes faith being a private issue — Matthew 28:16-20
Highlights God’s love — John 3:16

When we shudder about hell we look deeply at our relationship with God and compassionately at people around us.
