About us
Refuge Church is a life-giving, non-denominational church that seeks to provide an authentic, relevant, and enjoyable environment for people to encounter Jesus and grow in their faith. We are one church family that meets in multiple locations to worship Jesus and hear live-teaching about the Bible from our teaching team. Our desire is to share His love with others as we continue in the mission of “being a refuge to a hurting world” in and around our region and our world.
