Many people have experienced church hurt, disappointment, and the weight of religion that often leaves them feeling more burdened than blessed. The scars from unmet expectations, harsh judgments, or feeling unseen can make it hard to trust again, especially when it comes to church and community. It's easy to become disillusioned, questioning if true connection and healing are possible.

​

But here at Refuge, we believe in a different story. We understand the pain of past hurts, and we are committed to offering a safe space where people can experience God’s love without fear of judgment. Refuge is a space where healing begins, where grace is extended, and where you can rediscover what it means to be truly seen and loved by God.  We're not saying you can't be hurt here... all relationships hold this potential. What we're saying is, we understand what it's like to be hurt in a place that's supposed to help and we commit to being patient with one another.

​

This isn’t about religion or rigid rules—it’s about relationship. It’s about the unconditional love of a Yahweh who welcomes you just as you are and invites you into a community that values authenticity and wholeness. We want to be the place where you feel restored, renewed, and reminded that God’s love has the power to heal even the deepest wounds.

Refuge is here for you—a place to breathe, to heal, and to experience the true love of God that knows no bounds. You belong here.
