Refuge

The Refuge is a direct result of more than a decade of prayer from believers across the eastern North Carolina region. It is a testament to the power of prayer and the unity of the Christian community in building a place of refuge for all to experience and share the hope of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to share and model this hope through our programs, property, and people as we serve churches, youth groups, businesses, school groups, and other organizations.
