About Fair Haven
Fair Haven Christian Church sits on the southernmost part of Johnson
County, about 35 minutes south of Indianapolis. The church began
about 75 years ago in the rural community of Trafalgar. God has
blessed the church with sustained growth; currently, the church has
around 600 in attendance on Sunday morning, which includes about
80-100 children. While the church’s physical address is in the city of
Franklin, Fair Haven is in the Trafalgar community. Our community is
growing, and we have the vision to be ready for the new people God is
calling us to reach with the gospel. We view children’s ministry as a
priority for Fair Haven. We have a history of prioritizing money and
space for children to ensure the ministry can thrive. Each Sunday,
Fair Haven has three identical worship services. In order to
accommodate our growing community, we are preparing to break ground on
a new worship center.
