Our desire is that you would…
Find Rest
Find shelter from the madness. Experience the kind of acceptance and love that is foreign and unfamiliar in our fallen world. Let this love wash over you and truly free you to slow down and experience new growth in your relationship with God. Feed your soul through biblical and relatable messages that speak right to where you’re at in life.
Live Restored
Allow God to do restorative work in your life so you can finally let go of all the baggage you’ve been carrying around. Join the community at Urban Refuge (here we just call each other family), where we desire to find the fullness of joy in Christ and support each other as we grow in an understanding of the reconciled life God calls us to as followers of Jesus.
Respond with Compassion
When growth and healing occur in our lives, the Spirit of God will always lead us to a point of response – to go out and share with others the good news of the gospel. Operating out of a renewed identity in Christ, we can face the chaos of the world with purpose and compassion for those who are still struggling to find truth. Then, when weariness sets in – and it will – all we need to do is circle back and find the rest and renewal God promises us in His Word and through His family, where we experience an empowering sense of belonging.
Watch a Service
Showing up to a new place for the first time can be intimidating. We invite you to come just as you are. When you visit, dress any way you like. Bring your kids. Grab a coffee. Join us as we worship Jesus Christ and learn from His Word.
