the Bible is in places hard to understand and even harder to apply
that believing is sometimes difficult
the more we learn of and experience God, the more questions we have
miracles happen, sometimes quickly, but mostly they are so slow in coming
we need each other to know God fully and live the life He dreams for us
it is our responsibility to advocate for and tangibly love the poor, marginalized, and oppressed
in equality and dignity for all regardless of sex, race, socioeconomic status, or a myriad of other things that typically cause us to power up on others
we are embarrassed by how the word Christian is perceived in the world today and we are sorry for our part in that
that mostly people need to be loved, not just told they are
church is messy
we believe that if you really want to know what we believe at the refuge you have to hang out with us and watch what we do
