For The Refuge

We believe that along with miracles, God works through discipline and intentionality. With the goal of walking alongside young people so they can be launched successfully into their adult lives, we believe structure is required. To override the negative experiences and models they grew up with, individuals need a framework of support until their paradigm has changed. With this knowledge in mind we have developed a program requiring a level of commitment to not repeat the patterns of their families of origin. Each participant in the program will enter into an agreement, that in the execution of it, will provide them the tools and direction to transition into their next season of life with victory and ready to make a differences in their family and their community.

At The Refuge, ​we believe...

...young adults deserve to be protected

...family is the best place for young adults to grow and develop

...sometimes families of origin are not safe

...young adults are better served in a home environment

...the “before” isn’t the definition of WHO we are, it is something that happened TO us

...the most important relationship we can encourage people in is with God

...God created us to be whole in spirit, mind, and body

...full healing comes from God

...healing also can come through God using therapy and having a safe place and secure relationships

...education is one of the biggest keys to escaping cycles of abuse, poverty, and addiction

...the trajectory of an entire family can be changed by one generation being healed

...repeated enough times, a city can be changed by healing people

...healing just one person can change a country
