History - where we came from
In 1979, Dr. Charles Shepson opened a retreat facility
in Tennessee for Christian workers. The 100 acre campus has
developed to the point that it now welcomes over 2,500 guests
each year.
In 1997, Dr. Shepson and the Board of Fairhaven began a
similar ministry in Canada.
Rev. Len Frank was called at that time to assist this new
ministry.
Len and his wife Fay, began pastoral ministry in 1970 and
since that time he has served several churches, taught and
served as an administrator of a theological college and worked
as a therapist. Len has graduate degrees in education and in
therapy.
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.
