What We Believe

A Refuge in the City is the Church God called.  This local organism is committed to restoring the troubled on every side* the perplexed * abandoned *overlooked *rejected * and the like.  Loving kindness and safety is our refuge and strength for us all.
A Refuge in the City is your shelter of protection from distress.  A stronghold of strength and restoration.  

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise.  God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom,  justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

We are a body of Believers, progressively living a lifestyle of integrity and worship to the True and Living God.

A Refuge in the City is committed to remaining on its Post.
Guardians of the Faith- We don't just monitor the danger we see coming, we sound the alarm and take action!
Prophetic - We speak the Truth of God for comfort, edification, and exhortation and NOT for the itching of the ears.
Prayer - It's not the least we can do; It is our priority!
We discern the seasons.
Equipping - We believe in the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ, and we teach * train * witness according to Matthew 28:19-20.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
