My husband and I attended a church that left me feeling down. The people were wonderful, but I…read morewasn't learning from the sermon and felt like the message became so focused on "eternal life" that I was gaining no insight on how to handle what we faced each day. We tried a couple local churches--each with very nice people, but we chose to stay at South Haven ... here's what we experienced: First visit impression: We were greeted at the entry door by Tim, who held the door for us. He asked if he could help us, and then took the time to show us what adult Sunday school classes were available and where. We tried a class he recommended after attending the 9am "Traditional" worship service. Additional visits: We came back! Upon entering the building, we again were greeted by Tim, who recommended 9 am Sunday School classes (several are geared to specific age-groups) as we wanted to try the 10:30 "Contemporary" worship service. Additionally, the church had collected and was delivering "Bags of Blessings" to local families to provide for a nice Thanksgiving meal. We really liked the idea that the church was giving directly to the local community. On our 3rd visit, we found a 9 am Sunday School class where we have breakfast-type snacks, share our prayer requests and praises, learn and have fun fellowship activities. The diversity of people and their life experiences along with the teacher make for a very interesting and informative class. We enjoyed the music in the 10:30 contemporary service, and appreciate that traditional hymns are occasionally included. There are many reasons we chose to stay. The pastoral staff is knowledgeable and reachable. I feel comfortable meeting with any of them to share a concern. We found the majority of the congregation warm and welcoming, and the few who seemed distant warmed up very quickly with a pleasant greeting. The sermons teach Biblical solutions to everyday problems. If you're looking for a church home, this is a great church to try. Just let someone at the door know you're new or it's your first visit and you'll be well taken care of! I needed to find someplace that was uplifting and reminded me to have hope. The first banner I saw inside was "HOPE," a major focus of the ministry. We're really happy to make South Haven Church our home! One more thing...while the recording quality isn't perfect, we LOVE that we can watch our church service live via Facebook when we can't be there. We've watched while on vacation and can watch at a later time or date when needed. Since the sermons are often sequential, this is an excellent service!
