What We Do
The Refuge integrates discipleship, faith‑aligned counseling, peer support, and life‑skills development to help people rebuild capacity and stability.
Current programs include:
-
Discipleship and mentorship groups
-
Faith‑based counseling and peer recovery support
-
Life‑skills education (budgeting, parenting, decision‑making)
-
Community service and restorative engagement
-
Volunteer‑led prayer, teaching, and fellowship
Our approach holds grace and truth together:
-
Mercy without accountability leaves people stuck
-
Accountability without compassion causes harm
By combining both, justice becomes restorative rather than punitive, and healing becomes durable rather than temporary.

Who We Are
Christ‑Centered. Community‑Driven. Stewardship‑Minded.
The Refuge exists to be a place of safety, restoration, and transformation. We serve people navigating trauma, instability, addiction, justice‑system involvement, and economic hardship, offering support that is compassionate, accountable, and grounded in faith.
Our work is rooted in Scripture, guided by prayer, and expressed through love, truth, and faithful presence. We see people not as problems to be managed, but as whole persons with dignity, agency, and God‑given potential.
