Welcome, Ministry Friend!

Welcome to Haven of Life Home! We’re excited to have you here!

This place is very special to us. It was the vision of its previous owner that this could be a place that could provide rest, relaxation and help for our friends in ministry. We personally enjoy the area and we’re convinced you will too.

Below you’ll find useful information that we’ve compiled to help our guests make the most of their stay.

We hope that you enjoy the Haven of Life as much as we do. Have a great stay!
