We are living at a time when confusion about the church might be at an all time high. The burning question for such a time as this is "What is the Church?" Our sincere hope is that this series will not only be clarifying, but empowering and healing.

There is nothing wrong with studying Jesus or learning about Jesus. But discipleship is something deeper, higher, greater, and more glorious. Jesus does not say, "Study Me." He says, "Follow Me." This series, through the Gospel of Mark, will allow us again and again to see Jesus, hear Jesus, and obey the call to follow Jesus.

“I desire to see Urban grow in the areas of worship and outreach! During my two years as ‘worship director’ it's quite evident Urban desires this as well, which for me is very encouraging and exciting! Through the message I hope to address questions on how this endeavor will be achieved.”

Teen Challenge Choir sings and gives testimonies of lives that Jesus has changed, healed, and transformed. We will also hear a powerful word from our church planting resident, Jahill Richards.

We are focused on following Christ in the mission that he has for our church. Selfish desires must not twist the way we treat or regard others and it changes the way we regard ourselves. Christ now controls the reigns of our life!

This series of messages seeks to lay out the stunning and compelling vision that Christ has for his church as we grow in our understanding and experience of what it means to go deeper together as God's people.

The book of Philippians highlights that when we unite as a church with the purpose of Jesus we will share together in the heart of Jesus and as a result the joy of the Lord will be our strength and shield.

Join us as we celebrate God's faithfulness at Urban Refuge Church over the last 20 years.

This year our advent theme is meekness and majesty. We will be surveying the greatest journey in all of history. We will watch the Son of God go from majesty to meekness and then from meekness to majesty.

Join us this Sunday as we explore the meaning of baptism. We will not only learn about baptism from all of Scripture, but we will also have a chance to witness multiple baptisms in response to the message.

The Psalms will not only speak to us (like all of Scripture), but speak for us. The Psalms minister to us in a mighty way because they give us language for every season of the soul. They can speak for us when we do not quite have the words to express our joy, lament, thanksgiving, weeping, praise, or trust.

As we prepare to enter the throne room once more, we will see that God the Son - Jesus the Redeemer - is worthy of worship. Let's prepare our hearts for worship as we will set our minds on the things above.

Many people today wonder what it would take to know that Jesus is risen. What would it take to know that truth and have it change your life forever?

Let us not put Jesus in a box constructed from our own assumptions and expectations. We want our hearts to be aligned with who he says he is and what he says he has come to do.

"Do you want to get well?” In John 5, we see Jesus ask this question to a man waiting by the pool of Bethesda; a site where many with infirmities went in hope that they would be healed.
