WHO WE ARE

OUR HISTORY

Refuge Church's journey began in 2015 when Bee and Amanda Vang received a vision to reach the multi-ethnic community in Appleton, WI. Feeling a deep calling, they began praying and seeking God for clarity and guidance on how to move forward. God led them clearly to serve with The Christian & Missionary Alliance, revealing that several Alliance leaders in the district had been searching for someone to reach the next generations of Hmong people in Appleton. After a series of assessments and interviews, Bee was licensed as a pastor with the C&MA and, on September 1, 2015, began planting Refuge Church to reach the multi-ethnic community.

VISION

Refuge Church exists to ignite a movement of multi-ethnic Christ-followers to Reach, Develop and Send the next generations.

MISSION

The mission of God is to make disciples who have the character and priorities of Jesus.
(Matt. 28:19-20)

OUR STRATEGY

  • GATHER

    We are a church that gathers together for the worship and adoration of Jesus Christ! We were made to worship and join together to praise our awesome Savior, Jesus Christ!

  • REACH

    We are a church that extends ourselves for the sake of the world so that they may hear the good news of Jesus Christ. This is about a prayer-saturated movement and action that puts ourselves out for the potential of others coming to Christ.

  • DEVELOP

    We are deeply and personally invested in the lives of those coming to Refuge and growing in their faith! Our hope is that they would know the fullness of God’s love for them by moving toward the character & priorities of Jesus, resulting in praise and adoration of Jesus.

  • SEND

    We are a church that equips and sends people to go and make disciples of Jesus Christ. We join God in sending and empowering His followers into the entire world so that the world may know the love of God, the sacrifice of His Son, and the power of His Spirit.
