Haven Worship Center

What Haven Worship Center does

Haven Worship Center is an independent, non-profit Christian church headquartered in Winter Haven, Florida, founded in March 1991 by Lead Pastors Jeff and Kim Connor. The church operates from a main campus at 1835 Overlook Dr SE and a secondary venue, Haven Chapel, located across the street at 651 Carl Floyd Road, with a combined sanctuary capacity of 1,006 seats. It runs five weekend worship services — Thursday at 7pm and Sundays at 8am, 9:45am, 11:30am, and 1:15pm — alongside live online streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and church.online. The congregation has grown from approximately 100 people at founding to roughly 4,000 attendees across all services.

The church operates a layered ministry ecosystem spanning demographic and programmatic segments: Haven Kids (nursery through 5th grade), Haven Youth Middle School and High School (with Tyler and Sydney Hubbard leading the high school program on Wednesdays), Haven Groups (12-week weekly small groups meeting in homes), Live Free (a 6-week class addressing personal barriers and addictions), Next Steps (a purpose-discovery course), Bloom (women's ministry led by Pastor Kim Connor), Haven Made Worship (the worship arts ministry led by Pastor Puchi Colón), and an international Missions program supporting missionaries in Nepal, Spain, Marshall Islands, Hong Kong, Honduras, and Russia with planned trips to Alaska, Honduras, Kenya, and Spain through 2027. The church also operates an annual community Serve Day outreach event and provides accessibility services including ASL interpretation and Spanish translation at the 11:30am Sunday service.

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants, facilitated through the Church Center platform alongside in-service giving. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The organization is supported by a staff of approximately 33 named personnel across pastoral, director, coordinator, and operational roles, and is privately held with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external funding. The church was rebranded in 2025 from Winter Haven Worship Center to Haven Worship Center alongside the Haven Chapel acquisition, signaling a broadening of identity beyond its original geographic footprint.
