Hope Haven is committed to helping people not only vocationally, socially and residentially, but also spiritually.  As a Christian service agency we are concerned about the whole person.  The Religious Services Coordinator not only encourages residents to take their rightful place in the church of their choice, but also works with the various denominations to receive people with disabilities into their congregations.  The Religious Services Coordinator is a resource person, a liaison and encourager to those who seek to join a church and for those who are not sure how to meet the needs of those joining. 

Several ways in which faith is encouraged at Hope Haven and beyond are weekly one to one Bible sessions, Friendship Bible study, SERVE projects for teens, respite programs for families with disabled members and spiritual retreats for adults with disabilities.  All these programs are designed to enhance the spirituality of persons with disabilities.

Spiritual Retreats are held each year in areas around the tri-state region. The retreats are a one day camp for adults with disabilities to worship, fellowship, and do various activities to grow spiritually and interact with new friends. Volunteers are involved in the retreat to help assist the attendees. The camp is not restricted to people served by Hope Haven. Contact Pastor Dan De Vries to attend or volunteer.

2012 spiritual retreat dates will be posted as they are confirmed.
