To know Jesus and make Him known.

Refuge Community Church is where everyone is welcome! People from all backgrounds and walks of life can meet Jesus,  engage in a life-giving community, and serve others throughout our community and the world. We believe in creating an environment where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts, and use those gifts for God's glory. We'd love to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus!

Ephesians 1:15–23 is Paul’s prayer that believers would not merely know about God, but truly know Him and understand the greatness of what He has given them in Christ. Having heard of their faith and love, Paul continually gives thanks for them and asks God to give them spiritual wisdom and revelation so that they would know the hope of their calling, the glorious riches of their inheritance, and the immeasurable greatness of His power toward those who believe. That same power is the power God displayed when He raised Christ from the dead, exalted Him above every authority and name, and placed all things under His feet. Christ is not only supreme over all creation—He is the head of the church, His body, which is the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Paul’s prayer reminds us that the Christian life is not about discovering a new source of power, but awakening to the reality of the power, hope, inheritance, and authority we already possess because we belong to the risen and reigning Christ.
