FORMING THOUGHTFUL DISCIPLES INTO THE LIKENESS OF CHRIST
Great Haven Assembly is a Word-and-Spirit Pentecostal church rooted in Scripture, alive to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, and grounded in the historic Christian faith. We are a community of people being formed into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
We believe the Christian life is more than attending church, knowing the right language, or having isolated spiritual experiences. It is an invitation to become like Christ in the way we think, love, live, serve, lead, work, and relate to the world around us.
That is why Christlikeness is at the heart of everything we do. We take Scripture seriously, make room for the work of the Holy Spirit, proclaim the gospel, welcome honest questions, encourage thoughtful engagement with faith, and cultivate authentic Christian community.
We believe in New Creation realities: through union with Christ, believers have been made new, reconciled to God, and empowered by the Spirit to live from their identity in Him. We therefore approach life, mission, and the Second Coming of Christ with confident and victorious hope. Jesus Christ reigns, His kingdom is advancing, and He will return bodily and gloriously to renew all things and bring His redemptive purposes to completion.
We are a church for the convinced and the curious, for those who have walked with Jesus for many years and for those still wrestling with important questions. You do not have to pretend to have everything figured out to belong here.
Our desire is not simply to build a large congregation. We want to form mature disciples who know Christ deeply, become like Christ, and make Christ known.
WHAT FORMATION LOOKS LIKE
We call this journey Theosis: becoming increasingly like Christ as we participate in the life of God. This formation engages the heart and the mind, and it happens together.
KNOW CHRIST DEEPLY
We study Scripture carefully, welcome honest questions, and learn to think faithfully in a complex world.
BECOME LIKE CHRIST
The Holy Spirit shapes our character, desires, relationships, and inner life into the likeness of Jesus.
MAKE CHRIST KNOWN
We carry the life of Jesus into our homes, workplaces, communities, service, and generations.
