Refuge is the name of our High School ministry here at Calvary Chapel. Our name derives from Psalm 91:2 which says, "I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.'" In a culture riddled with the temptations of sex, drugs, partying and going with the general flow of the world, we exist as a ministry to point all High School age students to Jesus as their Deliverer, their Redeemer, and their Refuge. We believed this is accomplished by functioning as close as we can to the Acts 2:42 model that turned the world upside down; by continuing steadfastly to the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, communion and being on-mission in our communities.

The main goal of our Youth Group this year has been the concept of "Missio Dei" which is Latin for 'The Mission of God.' The whole point being that God is on a mission in the world to save people through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and has invited us along side Him in this mission to preach this Good News of salvation and life in Jesus to a generation dying in sin without Him.

We are currently going through the book of Ephesians on Sunday mornings in a series called, "It's All About Jesus." We also offer a Wednesday night study that offers a more small group dynamic and focuses in on the practical side of Christianity and living on-mission. Due to the focus of Wednesday nights we function in a rotating 4-6 week series approach that will help equip our students in all facets of their lives.
