Our Leadership Structure
Believers who invest their hearts, time, families, and finances in the building of a local church deserve to have confidence in church leadership. People are looking for leaders who conduct themselves with integrity and respect when making decisions that affect their lives.
Church Government
1. We are guided by Pastors.
The Senior Pastor leads the Senior Leadership Team. The Senior Leadership Team oversees the day-to-day ministry and operations of the church and, together with our staff pastors & church staff, serves the congregation and is responsible for developing the church's spiritual life.
The Refuge Church Senior Pastor Leadership Team includes:
• Pastor Jason Parks
• Pastor Ben Cordray
• Pastor Andrew Murray
• Pastor Pat Perkins
• Pastor Meghan Watson
2. We are protected by Trustees.
The Trustees are members of the congregation who oversee the finances and direct the provision of the facilities needed by the church. They provide counsel to the Senior Pastor Leadership Team regarding the major financial commitments of the church. The Trustees serve as Non-staff Elders.
The Board of Trustee members are:
• Jason Parks, Chairman
• Sam Green
• Corey McMullen
• Ben Wheeler, Secretary/Treasurer
3. We are strengthened by Overseers.
The Overseers are pastors of respected congregations and ministries who love Refuge Church and are willing to provide spiritual protection to the church. They may be called in to help in accountability matters relating to the Senior Pastor if requested by the Trustees. The Overseers serve as Apostolic Elders.
