Who is Haven of Rest?

The Haven of Rest is a non-profit Bible-based discipleship program and ministry located in Anderson and upstate South Carolina. As a Christ-centered evangelistic ministry, we present the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Our residential program of Biblical Discipleship is designed for men and women who seek deliverance from destructive, life-dominating behaviors.

How this is accomplished

Through thousands of hours of Bible teaching the Haven of Rest is designed to rescue, restore, and release men and women facing life-dominating problems.

Rescuing - The receiving of those who come to us for help and meeting their immediate needs while giving biblical guidance.

Restoring - The process of transformation from their point of crisis to becoming a godly, functioning member of society.

Releasing - The removal of the bondage brought on by life's dominating problems through victory in Jesus Christ and their return to society through connection to a Christian church.

Our goal is to see every program participant have their immediate needs met, find freedom from addictions, and hope in a new life with Christ.

Why we do this

The Haven of Rest Ministries exists to see those bound by life-dominating problems rescued, restored, and released while experiencing the love of the Lord Jesus Christ who commands us in the Great Commission:

"...Go therefore and make disciples of the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
