We provide a loving home – a haven – where ministry workers act as foster parents.

Healing.

Safety and love eventually mean they can trust again. And be a kid again.

About Tree House Haven.

We understand questioning whether you can really make a difference in a world full of hurt.

As a Dominican-born dual citizen, Luis Lopez, with his wife Jennifer and their two children desired to make a difference in his home country where there are so many broken systems.

After several mission trips, they felt called to provide a safe and healing home for youth. The concept of an inviting and youthful tree house met with the safe and warm haven – and Tree House Haven was born.

Since 2009, Tree House Haven has been taking in teens and young adults who need a safe home and a shot at life.

Today, Tree House Haven has a wonderful ministry team, many of whom have graduated from our program. The circle of serving continues!

Indeed, you can make a world of difference, one life at a time.

The Tree House Haven Story.

What People are Saying About Tree House Haven.

I think that this ministry is more than just a ministry – it is a family. It’s a place where all those who arrive become a part of a unified family. We all care about each other and see each other like brothers and sisters. The spiritual part is one of the strongest areas of this family, always seeking the Lord and what He wants for our life. And not letting us be chased by the past.

When I first moved into the Tree House Haven home, I was having a really hard time. My faith was kind of drifted. With time and the support I got here, my faith started to grow again. I thank God for all the advice and the times of worship we have at home. I have also learned about important things here that were not important to me before.

When you first meet Jennifer and Luis Lopez, you just know they can’t help but to love BIG. Tree House Haven is a testament of that. I’ve seen young lives change complete directions because of the impact of this ministry.

This is good soil and I know that by giving to Tree House – I’m being the hands and feet of Christ. The financial and spiritual support touches future generations and and creates leaders. Tree House Haven builds tomorrow’s men & women who love the Lord.
