High School

Fairhaven's High School Ministry serves grades 9 through 12. Our goal is to create environments where students prioritize their relationship with Christ, influence their friends and experience personal ministry.

We shatter the stereotype that church is boring! We exist to celebrate life in a way that is fun for believers and welcoming to those who don't come to church. We offer an experience that allows students to worship God in a way that makes it easy for them to invite their friends.
