About Us

Our mission is to reach out in service to our community and our world by providing a ''haven of grace'' to all. We offer opportunities for the enhancement of mind, body and spirit through the arts and music, recreation & athletics, creative worship & meditation. The church & retreat center will serve as a model for sustainable development through conservation, recycling & respect for the environment.

Grace Haven Baptist Fellowship, Inc. was founded July 2003 by Dick and Ginger Graves. The first worship service was held on September 7, 2003 at Youngsville Elementary School in Youngsville, North Carolina. The vision is to build a church in a retreat setting in Franklin County. The Church’s 72 acres off Hicks Road, Youngsville, with its beautiful natural setting, provides numerous opportunities for family, church, corporation and community groups to renew, refresh, and retreat.

Grace Haven Baptist Fellowship, located in Youngsville NC, provides an opportunity to explore our calling to serve God in ways in which we have not previously experienced. The Christian life is a story of grace written by God in the hearts of those who trust in Him. Our story of grace is possible because of the faithfulness of God and the willing service of His people. We are grateful for the milestones that have brought us to this place and excited about our opportunities for ministry in the future.
