Through uplifting praise music, personal testimonies, and the use of multimedia, this service encourages authentic and dynamic worship experiences. 10:30am Traditional Worship: This service is a more traditional style of worship. Our outstanding organist and pianist will usher you into the sanctuary proclaiming God's praises through hymns and moments of meditation. This traditional service relies more on instruments like the flute, clarinet, trumpet and handbells. We are blessed with a superb chancel choir that compliments their anthems with solo and duets. This service seeks to honor God through creative and blended worship experiences and Christ centered messages. We hope you will come and encounter God's love and grace at either one of these Christ centered worship services. Discover Worship at Woodhaven !

"Keep on doing the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of Peace will be with you" (Philippians 4:9). World Communion Sunday occurs each year on the first Sunday in October - this year on October 4. It is a day when churches of the Christian faith draw together in unity to celebrate that which they hold in common - a belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and a celebration of the gift of life that was given for us all. World Communion Sunday reminds us that as the Church universal on earth, we are all one in Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and that the table is not ours, but the Lord's. This demonstration of unity among Christians is an effort to uphold the art of peacemaking - a difficult task in today's war-torn society.

Stephen Ministers are laypeople who have been equipped and trained to provide confidential, one-to-one, distinctively Christian care.Laypeople: Stephen Ministers are trained and supervised lay volunteers, not professional counselors or therapists, pastors, or physicians. Confidential: Stephen Ministers observe strict standards of confidentiality in their relationships with their care-receivers, whose identity and personal circumstances are very closely protected.One-to-one: Stephen Ministers meet privately with one care receiver of the same gender. Distinctly Christian: Stephen Ministers are Christians who care in the name of Christ. They are equipped and willing to talk about spiritual issues as their care-receivers may desire, but they fully respect their care-receivers autonomy, and never insist upon their own point of view on any issue.Care: Stephen Ministers care by listening, supporting and encouraging, praying, being dependable and trustworthy, and maintaining confidentiality in their caregiving. Stephen Ministers provide the care, but it is God who provides the cure.

"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." John 4:23 Our goal is to offer creative worship experiences that will help build a unified congregation of believers through blended worship services, utilizing both traditional and non-traditional expressions of worship, and addressing the different needs of a transgenerational congregation and non-believers within our community. We have two worship services each Sunday morning. 8:30am Contemporary Worship: The Contemporary Worship service seeks to glorify God through a more contemporary and casual setting. Through uplifting praise music, personal testimonies, and the use of multimedia, this service encourages authentic and dynamic worship experiences. 10:30am Traditional Worship: This service is a more traditional style of worship. Our outstanding organist and pianist will usher you into the sanctuary proclaiming God's praises through hymns and moments of meditation. This classical service relies more on instruments like the flute, clarinet, trumpet and handbells. We are blessed with a superb chancel choir that compliments their anthems with solo and duets. This service seeks to honor God through creative and blended worship experiences and Christ centered messages. We hope you will come and encounter God's love and grace at either one of these Christ centered worship services. Discover Worship at Woodhaven !

Church members and faithful friends of Woodhaven have chosen to help expand the Kingdom of God through the missions and ministry of Woodhaven Baptist Church. A tithe is considered to be a financial gift of ten percent (10%) of an individuals weekly, monthly or annual income. Some members give on a weekly basis while other members give bi-monthly, monthly or quaterly to God's Church and ministries. A financial offering is actually considered to be a gift above and beyond the ten percent of a person's income. Some members sacrificially both tithe and give offerings to special mission efforts or ministries they embrace and support. Tithes and offerings are genuine and sincere gifts birthed from a persons heart, soul and mind who seek to honor and give thanks to God for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Giving is an expression of our love and faithfulness to Christ.

We believe in authentic worship, relevant Bible Study and healthy fellowship. The youth program at Woodhaven is for 7th-12th grade students.

The Psalms are ancient hymns filled with deep feelings and emotion. Read five psalms each day. Allow them to shape the content of your prayer time. In 30 days you will have read through all 150 psalms. 2. Use the A.C.T.S. model to shape your prayer time. Begin with Adoration, praising God for who He is, followed by Confession, Thanksgiving, and end with Supplication, as you present your requests to God. 3. Take a walk on the beach, through a garden, or in the mountains. Allow God's creation to shape your prayer. See His detail, His beauty, His faithfulness, and His power. 4. Write your prayers. Keep a journal. Use art if you like. Be sure to periodically note how each situation is unfolding.

"Again Jesus said, 'Simon son of John, do you truly love me?' He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.' Jesus said, 'Take care of my sheep.' " John 21:16Our goal is to equip and empower our people to use their time and talents in a broader and deeper commitment to Jesus Christ and the church.

A vital part of this balance is our Senior Adult Ministry. Approximately seventy people make up this group. Some of our "Seasoned" adults are still employed, some retired or nearing retirement and some are homebound. Woodhaven's Senior Adult Ministry includes: Bible Study, fellowship, evenings out, day trips, extended trips, intergenerational activities and ministry projects. Woodhaven senior adults are involved in a wide range of activities at Woodhaven. Our seniors teach in Bible Study and Small Groups, active on church committees and councils, serve as deacons and are involved in ushering and preschool child care during worship services. If you are a "Seasoned Adult" looking for a church home and new friends, come and try us out.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:42-47 Woodhaven provides fellowship opportunites to build personal relationships that will help people discover their place in the family of God. LET US FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER !

" But I pray to you, O LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation." Psalm 69:13 (NIV) We would like to pray for you and your concerns.
