At Refuge Church, we value safe and meaningful experiences for our students. By participating in Refuge Youth & Children programs and events, you are acknowledging the following:

• Behavior & Rules: participants are expected to respect leaders, peers, property, and the guidelines provided for each event. If a participant’s behavior becomes unsafe, harmful, or persistently disruptive, leaders may require the participant to be picked up early. Serious or ongoing issues may result in the student being prohibited from future events.
• Photos & Videos: We regularly take photos and videos at events to share the life of our ministry. These may be used in church communications and media. Please let us know if you do not want your child included.
• Emergency Care: In the event of an emergency, leaders will act immediately to ensure your child’s safety and well-being. This may include providing first aid or seeking professional assistance medical attention without delay. Parents/guardians will be contacted as soon as reasonably possible once immediate safety and care have been secured.
• Safety & Responsibility: Our staff and volunteers take reasonable safety precautions; however, participation in events involves inherent risks. Refuge Church, its leaders, and volunteers are not liable for injuries or losses that may occur.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s participation, please contact us.

While our regular programming and calendar are available on the website, there are some ways to make sure you have the most up-to-date opportunities, reminders, and announcements (things come up, and events could be added to the calendar):

• Subscribe to our youth Gloo Texting platform by texting “youth” to 833-248-3767 or clicking here & tapping send. No app is required. It is text- based. You’ll get automated responses, but when you text us, the youth ministry staff also receives a notification, and we can follow up with you more specifically as needed. Messages are seen by all youth ministry paid staff and retroactively accessible by senior staff if needed. This platform provides a means for youth and parents to safely communicate with adult staff as needed, with proper checks and balances.
• You can find out what's happening at Refuge Church by reading our weekly e-newsletter. It's called Refuge Life! If you are not currently receiving it, sign up here!
• Follow us on Instagram. We don’t post a lot of pictures, but we do use the story platform as a communication avenue for breaking updates and reminders.
