The church also reaches its community through its website, an outward-reaching newspaper, Haven News, and family fun events.

2. Prayer Focus: North Springfield Baptist Church
The church places a high priority on prayer. Please pray with them: - that the current ministries will continue to grow and produce more fruit. - for the exciting opportunity and challenge of being the closest church to huge new housing developments. May the church find effective ways of reaching out to the new residents. - that the finance will become available for a small extension to replace the kitchen and toilets.
