The focus of the church should be Jesus. Not a charismatic leader, not a building, not programming … JESUS. Being a new church (est. 2016), we are attempting to build the culture that Jesus established and desires still today for our modern generation. To be a people that extends scandalous grace.
At Refuge our ambition is to not have a set style of music, but to have an eclectic mix. We approach worship intimately. There are no fog machines or light shows. Our worship isn’t catered to any single age group or ethnicity. We attempt to create a worship environment for anyone who desires to be intimate with God.
The first thing people knew about Christians is that all walks of life gathered together and devoted themselves to the apostles teachings, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Our weekly worship gatherings are on Saturday nights. These gatherings are a time of singing, teaching, eating, prayer and conversation.
