REFUGE is a place where YOU belong!
We want you to know that you matter to us because you matter to God. Being a teenager is a 
fun time in life. It’s a time of discovering new things, meeting new friends, and discovering who you really are. It is also a tough time. You will face trials & tribulation. You will have to overcome the hurdles of life. I won’t lie to you. Being a teenager in today’s society is a lot different than it was 10 - 20 years ago. That is why Refuge Ministry is here to help you along the way. We are committed to journeying with you through the sometimes challenging times that accompany the teenage years. We also want to be there with you in the fun memory making times that will be with you forever. We are REFUGE!
