About Refuge Church
Being transformed through life with Jesus
Our Vision, Longing and Pursuit
By the grace of God who is making everything new:
-
People are welcomed into community wherever they are at—no matter their questions, struggles, doubts—and no matter where they came from. God is at work and people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds are baptized into God’s family.
-
Our homes are open, our dinner tables filled with laughter—glimpses of the Kingdom of God where diversity is celebrated as the Creator’s gift, where strangers become family. We see a family rooted in Jesus, filled with love and affection, committed to one another.
-
Living radically open-handed, using their God-given gifts and passions in their vocations throughout the week. Some help plant churches, some give their evenings and weekends to the poor, some are on mission globally. All are moved to be generous with their time and money.
If we are known by outsiders we are known as a church that might have a bunch of messed up, awkward misfits, but together we are pursuing Jesus, seeking justice and righteousness in every sphere of life, expecting to find God on the margins, celebrating his love…and never taking ourselves too seriously. A place where people can give Christianity a try, or a second try.
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.
