Installation Service for New Pastor at FBC Haddonfield

The members of FBC Haddonfield are excited to inform you of our new pastoral team!

We would like to invite you to attend the Installation Service at The First Baptist Church of Haddonfield on Sunday November 1st at 3PM.

Invitation:

Greetings in the name of Christ.
We, the members, of the First Baptist Church of Haddonfield, are
pleased to share the news that we have called a new pastoring
team to lead this congregation. Pastor Harven Auguste will begin
his calling as Senior Pastor beginning at the end of October and
will preach his first sermon as Pastor at the morning worship
service on November 1, 2026 at 11:00 am. Pastor David Yu has
been our Pastoral Care Pastor during the interim period of our
search and has accepted the call to be our Assistant Pastor,
partnering with Pastor Harven to provide spiritual leadership for
our church.

Pastor David is well-known to most of you through his
participation in the Council of Churches in the recent years.
Pastor Harven is newly called to the pastorate, having received
his M.Div. from Palmer Theological Seminary at Eastern
University. Pastor Harven was born in Haiti and raised in the
Philadelphia area. He is in his early 30s with a wife and two young
children. His American Baptist background brings strength to
his message of community, service, and outreach to our
neighborhood.

We are hosting an Installation Service for the new pastoring
team on Sunday afternoon, November 1, 2026 at 3:00 pm in our
Sanctuary. The community is invited to attend, and we are
inviting you, the pastors of the churches of Haddonfield, to
participate in welcoming these two to the community. If you
wish to offer a welcome as part of the service, please respond to
me by October 23. Please share this invitation to attend the
Installation Service with your congregations.

May the Lord continue to bless you and your congregations as
we continue to bring His message of love and salvation to the
world around us.
