Mission & Vision

Refuge Church

Our Mission

Our mission is the same mission that every other church has had since Jesus ascended into Heaven: to go and make disciples of Jesus, as He is our only hope. In other words, we want to help people come home and find hope in Jesus!

Our Vision

To be a disciple making hub in West Central Minnesota and beyond. We do this through two main priorities: doing our best to reach young people between the ages of four and fourteen with the Good News of Jesus and through church multiplication, since the church is the vehicle that God ordained to use to reach the world.

Our Values

Our core values shape who we are and how we live. Rooted in Scripture, these values guide everything we do—helping us stay faithful to our mission and focused on what matters most.

We are all about Jesus.

There is no other way by which we are saved. By grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus ALONE. (Eph. 2:1-10; John 3:16-17)

We are all about reaching the lost.

We are called to make disciples and this starts by helping people MEET Jesus in the first place. We passionately support global and local missions. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8)

We are all about being generous.

God doesn't NEED our money, He WANTS our hearts. But He has ENTRUSTED us with resources that He intends to use to build His Kingdom. We want to always remember that it's all God's money - He's just letting us manage it for a little while. (Matthew 6:19-21; James 1:17; Malachi 3:10)

We are all about the local church.

God's plan to reach the world with the Good News of His Son has always been and will always be the local church. That is why we'll seek to be church that plants churches. (Romans 10:14-15; Habakkuk 2:14)

We are all about family.

We believe that the front lines of discipleship happens at home. We'll work hard to help parents introduce their kids to Jesus and come alongside them as they help their children grow in the faith. (Proverbs 22:6; Colossians 3:12-25)
