At the Refuge, we not only do our best to help people know Jesus at our location through Sunday services, we love to give back to the community. There are several wonderful organizations in Russellville that are constantly working to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. We gladly support them financially, so that they can continue to do incredible work for the Kingdom.
