Our York Haven campus is located at 13 S Landvale St., York Haven, PA
If this is your first time checking out our church, this page will give you a glimpse of what it’s like for a Sunday morning service at our York Haven Campus. We’d love to have you join us for worship on Sunday! Please let us know if you have any questions about the church or would like to arrange a visit.
Parking
Kid's Check In
We want to provide a loving and safe environment for your children, and there will be children’s ministry volunteers to help you register & check in your child for children’s worship. You are welcome to walk thru the children’s wing with your child and see the classrooms and worship areas that they will be in during the services, as well as meet the teachers and volunteers in this area. There are children’s programs and nurseries for all of our worship services from start to finish (birth through 5th grade).
Cafe
As you enter our campus you will walk into an entry way with a large lobby and small café area on the opposite side of the auditorium. Because we are a very active congregation, our lobby is often filled with display tables and/or community service projects. Someone will be there to greet you as you enter. Coffee and refreshments are free, so make yourself at home. You are welcome to take your coffee in with you during the service.
Music
The worship team leads the congregation in several songs. Our music is usually pop/rock oriented. We usually stand during congregational singing. The worship leader will let you know when to stand or sit. Please don’t feel like you have to sing. Some folks will clap their hands and others might raise their hands in worship to God. All of this activity is totally your choice.
Bible-Based & Practical Teaching
Sometime during the worship service, one of our pastors will deliver a message or sermon. There will be a pastor speaking live at each campus every Sunday. Our sermons are Bible-based and practical (click here to listen to current and past messages). Sometimes at the end of the message the pastor will invite people to make decisions and commitments in response to the teaching. This is usually called Next Steps. If you feel called to do so, you are welcome to respond.
Communion
Every Sunday we remember Jesus and celebrate our unity in Christ and hope of eternal life by sharing in Communion at some point during the service. Usually someone will share a brief meditation to help us prepare our hearts to take communion, which will then be passed down each aisle. If you wish, you may take a wafer and cup of juice and consume them when you are ready. Communion cups will be collected later in the service. You do not have to a member of Vibrant to partake of communion. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ you are welcome to join us. You also do not need to feel compelled to take communion.
Welcome Bags & Guest Services
You are welcome to stay for coffee after worship. There are also guest gift bags in the lobby near the front doors. Please stop by and pick one up before you leave. If you have any questions or need any help during your visit, please stop by the Guest Services desk near the entrance and someone will be there to assist you.

York Haven Campus Manager
About Sherry Trayer
Sherry is happily married to Thomas Trayer, and they have four young adult children, Laken, TJ, Kailynn, and Lucas. Sherry and Tom began attending Vibrant in 2012 and were a part of the launch team for our Etters campus, which is now York Haven campus. Sherry recalls, “When I first walked into the doors of the Lambs Gap campus, I was touched by the words I read as I moved from the parking lot into the building ‘Love God, Love God’s People and Love God’s World’. Those words pretty much summed up exactly how I was feeling, how I wanted to live my life, and the direction that I wanted to lead my children”. From that day forward; Sherry continued to grow and put her God given gifts to use to aid in the mission of those words she fell in love that first day , “Love God, Love God’s People and Love God’s World”.
Soon after, Pastor Mike learned that Sherry was a registered nurse, and she found herself headed to Haiti on a mission trip, having planned to never step foot on an airplane. Since that first trip, she has continued to travel and looks forward to going to Costa Rica this summer as a youth leader for The Vibe Student Ministry.
Sherry has been involved in many areas of ministry at Vibrant. She serves as a youth leader, assists with children’s ministry at York Haven, serves with frontline team, and has been a vital team member on the York Haven community outreach team.
