The 2010 Board of Directors welcomes you to Richmond Heights Housing Co-op. Our Co-op was incorporated in 1986 with the first units ready for members in 1988. We are a townhouse style complex comprised of 67 living units in 11 buildings. Close to the Village of Steveston, a short walk away from Richmond's dyke trails along the Fraser, we are close to both amenities and nature.Our vision for Richmond Heights Coop is to foster a community that is built on cooperation, self-governance and member involvement. We are welcoming and respectful of everyone and encourage community spirit through social events and good neighbour practices.
Our mission is to enhance and support the quality of life for Cowichan Lake area residents. We will strive to do this through education, prevention, recreation, counselling and support groups. It is also our aim to work together with other service agencies in an integrated approach.
statement of faithThe name ''Haven'' implies safety - a place of rest for the weary. On the ocean, ships will seek refuge in a harbor because only there will they find shelter from a storm.Over the years, that is exactly how God has used Haven Ministries. Millions of people have found comfort and encouragement in our Christ-focused programs. However, providing comfort isn't the main reason we're here.If you've been listening for long you know we talk a lot about the ''great story . . . it's all about Jesus''. This idea is central. It's the north point on our compass and our message regardless of the topic.The ''great story'' aspect recognizes that human history - the past, present, and future - is a story that God is writing. We're all part of it, but ultimately the story isn't about us - it's about God.The main character is Jesus. It begins with him and ends with him. Every story points to him. He's the hero, the rescuer, and the only true shelter we can run to.When the storms of life seem ready to capsize us there is only truth that gives us hope - Jesus is in the boat with us and he is master of the wind and the waves
