Our People

Pastors & Elders

The elder/pastor community at Refuge is designed to model community in the ordinary and everyday. Our elders gather to prepare sermons, pray for our congregation, and care for the needs of Refuge, specifically in pastoral counseling and church leadership.

Ministry Leaders

The ministry leaders of Refuge work hard to see the vision of Refuge Church become a reality in their various areas of passion and expertise.
