About North Haven Church
North Haven is a genuine, multi-generational, loving community. This church has deep roots in North St Paul. The community around the church has changed over the years, and we recognise that God has a plan to use us to reach this changing and diverse area. We are excited to see how God uses North Haven for His work here in North St Paul. One of the ways we have seen great strides in engaging with the community is through our kids and youth programs. We do not want North Haven to just have great programming. We want to be authentic and real. We want to be a body of Christ that intentionally welcomes people in and leads them to Jesus.
Our Vision
At North Haven, we aspire to become genuine followers of Jesus who are equipped and energized to impact our community.
Our Mission
We connect at a deeper level to Christ by intentionally pursuing a growing relationship with Him, to each other by purposefully building loving relationships, and to our community by actively working together to introduce families to Christ.
