Our Story

How it all started...

A Refuge in the City went from a thought to paper Monday, May 12, 2014, as 'The Church God Called.  When,  the Lord would say something, I would just write it down in my notebook and , the Lordkeep it moving.  I initially thought I was writing for my husband and I along with our children.  In the year 2017, I was enlightened to my dismay I have to move forward with or without a husband.  God's obedience over my desire.  

I have truly come to realize that whether I want to is really not the point - my love and desire to obey has always outweighed my want to!

The name changed to A Refuge in the City Saturday, July 18, 2015.  This came to light after the eyes of my understanding were opened to the position Pappa has had me functioning in for the last 20 + years of my life.  So here we are, you, me and the Holy Ghost moving forward in the purpose He has destined for use such a time as this.

Monday, May 29, 2017, the Lord informed me I am the Administrator and Founder of A Refuge in the City, and every Servant Leader of each ministry will be Pastors.

Expanding the vision...

The Culture of A Refuge in the City will be the brand that sets us as a pattern for others to follow in the Body of Christ.
