Founder and Director of Faith Haven House
Dareth Renee Jeffers devoted her life to faith, service, growth, and the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to rebuild. Her compassion and vision led to the founding of Faith Haven House, where her legacy continues through the lives touched by this ministry.
Dareth founded Faith Haven House from a deep desire to uplift men experiencing housing instability and to help create a clearer path toward stability, responsibility, and long-term independence.
She understood that transformation often begins with a safe place, practical support, meaningful accountability, and someone willing to believe that a difficult season does not have to define a person’s future.
Faith Haven House exists because Dareth believed people deserve more than a place to stay. They deserve a pathway forward.Faith Haven House Dedication
Dareth Renee Jeffers was born on May 20, 1979, in Clinton, Indiana, to William C. and Donna Jo Mitchell Jeffers.
Dareth graduated from Turkey Run High School in 1997 and continued pursuing education that would equip her to lead, serve, and build.
She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the University of Evansville, completed a Master’s Degree in Business through Phoenix University, and later received a degree in Theology from Merold University.
Dareth was a member of Harvester Church in Saint Charles, where she coached basketball, participated in church activities, and served her community with sincerity and joy.
Her faith was deeply personal. She was baptized at the Baptismal Site on the Jordan River, a moment that strengthened her connection to God and reflected the faith that guided her life.
Dareth loved gathering with friends and family, cheering for the Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Cardinals, and making the people around her feel seen and supported.
Dareth’s commitment to serving others led her to establish Faith Haven House in Missouri, where she served as Founder and Director.
Her vision was more than transitional housing. She wanted to create a place where men could find stability, encouragement, faith-centered support, practical resources, and a renewed sense of direction.
The mission she began continues to guide Faith Haven House today: helping men move from housing instability toward stronger foundations, personal growth, and long-term independence.
Create a safe and structured place where men can pause, regroup, and begin again.
Offer practical support through coaching, life skills, financial literacy, faith, and community connection.
Encourage men toward employment, housing readiness, accountability, and long-term independence.
