our STORY

For years, the purpose of North Haven Church has been to invite people into a transforming relationship with Jesus Christ and to help them become His fully devoted followers.


Below, you can read more about our specific vision, summarized in one word: Connect.

our vision

To connect at a deeper level to Christ by intentionally pursuing a growing relationship with Him, to each other by purposefully building loving relationships, to our community by actively working together to introduce families to Christ.

connect to christ

We worship, pray, give—each member of NHC engages in spiritual disciplines for the sake of intentionally pursuing a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.  We worship an infinite God, so there's always more to learn about him.

connect to each other

God didn't design us to live in isolation—we were made for each other! We place great value on building loving relationships with each other because, let's face it, life is just plain better when we can share the highs and lows with people who genuinely care about us.


Small groups, Sunday classes, and One-on-One Discipleship are just some of the opportunities we connect to each other.

Connect to Community

Our world can often seem so hopeless, but Jesus Christ said that we can take heart because he has overcome the world!


We are passionate about introducing the hope of Christ to the families in our community. We strategically build relationships with local organizations, such as Richardson Elementary and the North St. Paul Area Food Shelf, in order to serve our neighbors in powerful ways.


We also utilize a strategy called Orange, which involves leveraging the resources of the home (red) and the church (yellow), to make a positive impact in people's lives.
