Fairhaven Retreat Centre is an intentional setting committed to
fostering a safe space and facilitating pathways where Christians
can be encouraged, supported, and refreshed physically, emotionally,
and spiritually.
Our prime focus is serving Christians in ministry organizations, businesses, and individuals and families, in general. This is a widening of our welcome and embrace that has traditionally focused on serving those in the Church, Mission, and Para-church/Business leadership. Examples include, Pastors, missionaries, denominational leaders, leaders of para-church organizations, and their respective staff members; Faculty and staff from Christian colleges, universities, and seminaries; Christian counsellors; and Christian business leaders. Going forward, we welcome those from the broader faith community who align with the Fairhaven Statement of Faith below.
In 2000, 167 acres near the city of Vernon and Silver Star Ski Resort was purchased.
Development began in 2001 with the first cottages being ready for use in the fall of 2003.
Today the campus includes six guest cottages, three staff homes, and the Charles Shepson Lodge. We welcome over 1000 guests each year.
As we look to the future, God’s faithfulness in the Fairhaven story continues to be written. We invite you to witness it with us.
