We were made for dynamic, life-giving relationships with God, other people, and the world around us. Jesus lived into these relationships within his own life. He was regularly found spending time alone with the Father, doing life in a community of people who knew him well, and bringing healing, restoration, justice, and good news to the people and crowds he encountered.

Here at Harbor Churches, we want to help you take steps to deepen each of these relationships in your own life. To do this, we create communities of belonging centered on Jesus where you can be formed and sent to be good news.

Adult Adventure Group
Monthly Adventures
If you’re an adult of any age (post college single or couple) looking for some adventure and an opportunity to build relationships while enjoying the outdoors, join the new Adult Adventure Group! Each month, a new adventure awaits where we’ll be active, have fun together, and build meaningful friendships! Depending on the adventure, there may be a cost; however, scholarships are available if needed. Those who register will be added to our Adult Adventure Group in the Church Center app where they can view upcoming events and messages for the group. Register here.

Small Groups | October-May biweekly
Small groups are our way of creating communities of belonging centered on Jesus where people are formed and sent to be the good news! Groups are built around commonality, so you will choose the group that best fits the season of life that you’re in. There may be more than one group that describes your “life stage”. When this occurs, just pick the group that you’re most interested in finding community with!

Bible studies will vary amongst groups and their desired topic. Register here by September 30.

Breaking Bread Groups
Breaking Bread is an opportunity to connect with others. Our hope is that it helps you get to know each other more personally while chatting over a meal or coffee! Here’s how it works: Individuals and families who are attending Fair Haven Church (in person or online) sign up to connect three times over three months. Each group will have a volunteer point person who will help coordinate and communicate. We encourage each group to rotate the responsibility of “hosting” once a month. You can choose to open up your home, enjoy beverages over a zoom call, or meet at a local park or restaurant.  After three months, there will be a new opportunity to sign up and groups will get shuffled and reassigned. We believe relationships are important and that life is so much richer when we do it WITH each other. Join us! Sign up during the months of October, February, and June. Sign up here.

Women’s Ministry – BElong, BE known, BE challenged!

Women’s Ministry at Fair Haven is a safe place for all women to be in a community that’s centered on Jesus (BElong). We are committed to authenticity and vulnerability (BE known), and we hunger for encouragement to grow in our faith and live on mission (BE challenged).

Faith Disciplines
Our Cross-Campus Discipleship Team has developed a Faith Disciplines page where you can find several discipline suggestions. Each one includes the WHY, WHAT & HOW for that specific practice, as well as book recommendations from the Harbor Churches Staff. This is a great tool to use as you take your next steps toward growing deeper in your relationship with Jesus.
