This is the official app for The Refuge which is a healthy, growing community of people who don’t just “do” church but who seek to "be" the church. We see people being changed, empowering them to continuously walk in the freedom and character of Christ. We see people being connected, enabling them to collectively accomplish the purpose for which they were made. We see people being challenged, equipping them to effectively demonstrate the power and the love of Christ to all they encounter. CORE VALUES We value every human being. (Mt. 18:14 & 25:45, 2 Peter 3:9) We do church as a team, and mutually commit to excellence at every level.

(1 Cor. 9: 22-23, Acts 17:22-34) We believe spiritual growth and accountability happens in small groups. (Mk. 12: 29-31, Acts 2:44-47, Prov. 27:17) We believe people were created to serve and are most fulfilled when doing so. (Mk. 10:45, Eph 2:10, Romans 12, 1 Cor. 12:14-20) We courageously deal with conflict in a biblical manner, fiercely protect unity, and place high value on relationships. (James 1:2-3, 1 Peter 3:8-9, I Cor. 13:8, Rom. 16:17, Eph. 4:3) We practice lifestyle evangelism and are passionate about seeing lives changed.
