Thank you for inquiring about the ministry of Refuge Baptist Church. We are privileged to serve the Lord in Forsyth County and the surrounding area with the message of Jesus Christ.
We recently moved into a permanent facility. The story of how that all came about is a testimony of God's power and grace. Throughout the existence of our ministry we have prayed that whenever the Lord put us into a permanent facility that it would happen in such a way that those who hear the story would have to say that only God could do that. He started answering that in November of 2007. After church one Sunday a man pulled into the parking lot and wanted to talk. He attended a church two miles down the road that had been struggling. They had a faithful group of people but were in need of a pastor. After talking we both decided to pray and talk again. After much prayer and seeking legal advice we were prepared to make an offer to buy out of the reversionary clause. According to the original deed the property would revert back to the original owner if it ever ceased to be used for a church. We were apprehensive about this. We still don’t know how but the donor got our contact information and made us an offer. We had planned on offering more. Needless to say, we accepted. We now have a building and 2.6 acres of property. We had our first service in our new building the end of January and our building dedication on February 24th, 2008.
