Ministry Partners
At Woodhaven Church, we believe that God has called us to be a church that exists to radically transform the communities around us with the hope and love of Jesus Christ. Through our partnerships with ministries both locally and globally, we work to transform the areas we serve and advance God's kingdom together.
Mission Update
Good News Christian Fellowship
Woodhaven has a special connection with Jerry Hekhuis—he grew up at Woodhaven, found his call to ministry here, and now serves in Pasco County, Florida. Jerry oversees three key areas of ministry: Good News Christian Fellowship – a local congregation reaching people through worship, community connection, and a volunteer-run Christian bookstore. Somebody Cares Pasco – a network of churches partnering together to meet community needs, serve the vulnerable, and bring unity among believers. The Oasis Coffee Spot – a vibrant ministry hub that serves as a coffee shop, meeting space, worship center, and place of outreach in the community. Jerry and Judy continue to faithfully serve through these ministries, relying on God’s provision and the support of churches like Woodhaven.
