YOUTH MINISTRY

Our weekly youth ministry is open to students in 6th-12th grade, and meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:30PM-8:00PM at North Windward Baptist.
For directions and more information, please contact Bekah at (763) 657-6545.

MISSION: Through times of fellowship and teaching, we seek to lead Middle School and Senior High students (Grades 6-12) to learn, study, and engage God’s word, build relationships with one another, and connect to the local church. In wisdom we seek to shepherd students, teaching them to behold Christ more and glorify Him in all they do.

VISION: As a ministry of the Refuge Church, we desire to disciple Middle School and Senior High students to worship the Triune God holistically, love their communities radically, proclaim the gospel faithfully, and serve their neighbors and the world compassionately and sacrificially. We pray that students will be raised up as leaders to disciple others and use their giftings for God’s kingdom purposes for the glory of God alone.
