It is a place where people have met Jesus in life-transforming ways (… this is why on most Sundays we let some individual share their story of how God radically transformed their life).

 

It is a place where people strive to know the Bible deeply (… it’s fairly normal around the Refuge for disciples to learn lots of Scripture by heart).

 

It is a culture of prayer, because we know that prayer moves God’s powerful hand (… it's not uncommon for those in the Refuge to spend large chunks of time in prayer alone and with others).

 

It is a culture where people love each other (… our church isn’t just Sundays. We are a family and so our community functions all week).

 

It is a culture of compassion (… around here we rejoice when God brings the broken, the poor, the addicted, and the oppressed through our doors, because we expect miracles).
