Who We Are
At Refuge, we believe that the best version of life is a life modelled after Jesus.
Live life together in a caring and safe environment where you can be challenged in your faith, encouraged to live a life committed to God, and have fun with friends through it all!
God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
- Psalm 46:1 (NLT)

Saturday Night Service and Event
Every Saturday night we gather as grades 7 - 12 for church.
Join us in the East Auditorium at 6:00 pm for singing, teaching from the bible, prayer, and a great time with others. The service is one hour in length.
Everyone is welcome to come as they are and experience church where they are at. There are caring leaders who are there to help welcome you and answer any questions you might have.
Following our Saturday evening service, we have events for both junior and senior high students!
