No one should despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Refuge holds this scripture as our motto. It is not just encouraging, but also a great challenge. We hope to challenge our youth and push them to be examples in their lives. To represent Christ in our conduct, love, faith and purity. Our mission is to create strong Christ-like men and women. Currently 61% of today’s young adults had been churched at one point during their teen years but they are now not actively attending church, reading the Bible, or praying. Only 20% of college-age individuals have maintained a level of spiritual activity consistent with their high school experiences. Another 19% of teens were never significantly reached by a Christian community of faith during their teens and have remained disconnected from the Christian faith. In order to create strong men and women in Christ we have got to do something. We at Refuge and Vessels of Honor strive to defeat these statistics. That’s our mission.
