SEEK TRUTH
Refuge is dedicated to seeking truth by studying the inspired Word of God. We want to connect students to the scriptures, helping them to see the countless places where God’s Word speaks into their lives.
EMBRACE GOSPEL
Refuge is all about Jesus Christ and the gospel. Our desire is to help students embrace the gospel by furthering their understanding of the gospel and developing a deeper relationship with Christ, who is our daily hope and joy.
CHOOSE COMMUNITY
Refuge is a safe place where middle school students can choose community and experience the love, grace, and mercy of Jesus Christ. Through cultivated fellowship and friendship, we desire to see students grow in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ.
JOIN THE MISSION
Refuge is about Jesus Christ and the gospel changing every part of our lives. We want to see students join the mission by sharing the love of Jesus through actions and words in our church, at home, in the classroom, and around our city.
