With the exception of our Lead Pastor, all ministry leaders are bi-vocational. In fact, we consider everyone a pastor at Refuge in the fields they are planted. The leaders below spend ten or more hours each week working directly within the Refuge ministry.
When a child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and may feel hopeless and isolated. The Compassionate Friends provides highly personal comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, or a grandchild, and helps others better assist the grieving family. The vision statement of The Compassionate Friends is that everyone who needs us will find us and everyone who finds us will be helped.

Refuge.Basics is our 8-week series, these videos were recorded in 2020 (just as we returned from the Covid break) while we learned how to “livestream“.
You can not only learn about Refuge but enjoy watching the improvements week by week.
The Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit; three persons within the unity of God’s being, who are equally divine, who know and love one another, and who from all eternity have together worked for our salvation. The beginning and end of all things. The creator of matter. The author of life. God has one nature, name, and being.
We are all sinners, as God finds us, guilty, helpless, powerless, unable to lift a finger to do God’s will, or better our spiritual position by our effort. Sin separates us from God, and leads to death. All human problems are symptoms, and our separation from God is the cause. Sin breaks our relationship with God and each other and then leads to devastating consequences in the world around us.
God does everything, first to last, that is involved in bringing man from death to life: He plans, achieves and communicates redemption, calls and keeps, justifies, sanctifies, glorifies. We call this the Gospel, or Good News. The message of the Gospel is how we have been rescued from sin and death and saved to a relationship with God. It’s not about something we do, it’s about something that has been done for us by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
The words of God given to the prophets and the apostles, written down in the Bible, comprise the main way we encounter God. To encounter the words of the Scripture is to encounter God in action.
Following Jesus is a group activity. The Church is made up of every person who puts their hope and faith in Jesus Christ. It is a place where the first are last and the last are first. The Church is a SAFE PLACE for ALL PEOPLE regardless of race, language, political persuasion, sexual orientation, age or any other factor. All people, means, all people.
We believe that those who put their hope and faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity with Him.
We are a church mobilizing to change the world. We’re all ministers, called to love and serve those both within and outside our church family. There is a daily miracle of grace happening in our lives, how will we respond? #jointhedance
