ABOUT THE REFUGE

The Refuge is a church planting movement to spread the fame of Jesus Christ across the Greater South West of Sydney, Australia.

We want to see people get amazed by God.
We want our existence to make a difference.

I am passionate about preaching and evangelism and love talking about Jesus, especially over a coffee. I love being in community and being part of a Church that exists for God’s glory and for the healthy transformation of people everywhere.

We are a Church of Connect Groups, not a Church with Connect Groups
