The Refuge Church

About this church

The Refuge Church gathers for pre-service prayer at 9:30 a.m. and worship at 10:30 Sunday at 102 Front Street in Smyrna. Wednesday ministry begins at 6:30 p.m. Nursery care for infants through age four is available during Sunday worship, while kindergarten through fifth grade meets on Sunday and again during Wednesday discipleship. Family check-in is upstairs above the main sanctuary.

The children's ministry combines Bible teaching, friendship, play, and discipleship rather than functioning only as childcare. The congregation's Pentecostal beliefs include the present work and gifts of the Holy Spirit, baptism by immersion, and Communion. Its “SWAT” approach encourages people to connect through Sunday worship, weekly participation, active service, and ties with others through groups or Bible studies. Practical community care includes a clothes closet open from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturdays, using the building's rear entrance; it distributes clothing, shoes, coats, and basic necessities. Global partnerships support schools, medical care, pastor training, and community development. A first-time family can choose the main Sunday gathering or the smaller Wednesday rhythm, but should head upstairs for children's check-in. People seeking material assistance can use the specific twice-monthly closet hours without needing to attend worship first.
