ABOUT THE REFUGE
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
