Why New Westminster?

New Westminster is a rapidly growing city with a rich heritage and all the makings for a beautiful future. But as the city grows, so does its distance from God—with nearly 50% of residents now identifying with no religion at all. A reality made only more obvious by the increasing number of churches permanently closing their doors.

Yet countless people are making New West their home, searching for belonging, peace, and hope.‌ We believe‌ Jesus‌ alone offers that hope—and that the Church can still be the most compelling expression of it.‌

That’s why we’re planting Haven Church in the heart of New Westminster.
