About Faith Haven …

Faith Haven began in 1985 as a result of the vision of one woman – Sylvia McGill. Sylvia gained the awareness for the need for concrete alternatives to abortion through her work for the City of Rochester School District and her experience as a foster parent. Driven by her vision of providing a safe home with a Christian atmosphere and plenty of practical support, Sylvia spent two years promoting her concept to area businessmen, ministers, counselors and teachers.

Finally, the pieces came together as word spread, and a home nestled in the Bristol Hills near Naples, New York was donated for Faith Haven’s use. Able to accommodate six young women at one time, Faith Haven provides housing for approximately 17 young women each year. In addition, numerous others are served through counseling and referrals.

Today, Faith Haven continues to provide experienced care and support to women in crisis pregnancy. We are led by a 12 member Board of Directors and a 15 member Advisory Board. We are proud of our membership in the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) which signifies our commitment to adhere to the biblical principles of stewardship that God commands His people to observe.
