Our Story

Rooted in grace. Growing in Orlando.

For more than six decades, Grace Haven has been a place where ordinary people meet an extraordinary God.

Our Mission

To love God, love people, and serve the city.

"We exist to help every person we meet take their next step toward Jesus — whether that's their first step into the door, or their thousandth step into deeper faith."

— Pastor David Whitman
What We Believe

The truth that holds us together.

The Scriptures

We hold the Bible as the inspired, authoritative Word of God — our final guide for faith and life.

One God

We worship one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, and bodily resurrection of Jesus.

Salvation by Grace

Salvation is a gift of God received through faith in Christ alone — never earned by works.

The Church

We are the body of Christ, called to worship, grow, serve, and reach the world with the Gospel.

The Return of Christ

We await the visible, personal, and glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
