About Us

Purpose

Welcome to Refuge Online – the online home for Refuge Student Ministries.

Life is full of highs and lows. We need friends to celebrate the highs with and friends to walk with us through the lows. We try to be those kind of friends. We aren't perfect. We often mess up. But we have a safe place to come - a refuge. And we know the ultimate Refuge - God.

Are you looking for a place like this? We'd love to meet you.

LOVE GOD. CONNECT PEOPLE. TRANSFORM THE WORLD.

Testimonies from some of our Refuge youth:

"Refuge is like the best thing that ever happened in my life. It's a safe place where I can be friends with everyone, even people I would never talk to at school; our differences don't matter here. C-groups keep me going through the week, reminding me that Christ loves and died for us."

- Mandi Distler, Former Youth

We are a ministry of First Baptist Church, Jefferson City, Missouri.
