About Refuge Church
Being transformed through life with Jesus
Our Vision, Longing and Pursuit
By the grace of the Triune God:
-
We exist to form fully alive and resilient disciples of Jesus — rooted in community, shaped by Scripture and spiritual practice, and sent into their God-given vocations for the good of others and the glory of God.
-
We envision a church where disciples are deeply rooted in community, grounded in the story of Scripture, practicing the way of Jesus in everyday life, and courageously discerning and living into their vocation.
This formation is not rushed. It is cultivated over time through shared life, intentional practices, and attentiveness to the Holy Spirit.
-
Over the next decade, we are trusting God to raise up and send a generation of deeply formed disciples — especially young adults — who are resilient in faith, grounded in community, and courageously living out their vocation in our city and beyond.
This is not about growth for growth’s sake. It is about depth, endurance, and faithful presence.
-
When expanded:
We walk a multi-year Discipleship Pathway designed to:
• Root people in enduring Christian community
• Ground them in biblical imagination and spiritual practice
• Help them develop and live by a personal Rule of Life
• Equip them to discern and embody their vocationFormation happens slowly, relationally, and intentionally.
We are becoming a community of ordinary people being transformed by Jesus over time — learning to love God, love one another, and participate in His renewal of all things.
By the grace of God who is making everything new, we see a refuge. Not a building, but a family being transformed by Jesus to be what he is: a safe place and a saving place.
