About The City of Refuge
Our church is...
A place of Refuge from the burden and bondage of sin (Matt 11:28-30).
A place of Comfort because we welcome the presence of God's Holy Spirit in all our services, for he is our comforter in all our troubles (2 Cor 1:3-4).
A place of Liberty because here you will hear the word of God, which is able to break every chain of sin and sickness. All this is made possible because of the salvation and power that comes through the shed blood of Jesus our Lord and Savior and by his resurrection from the dead (John 8:31-32 & Phil 3:10-11).

Salvation
What must I do to be saved...
1. I Must Believe That I Am A Sinner. “ For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 6:23)
2. "Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ And Thou Shalt Be Saved" Acts 16:31. That is, I must believe that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again to save sinners like me. He bore “our sins in his own body on the tree” (I Peter 2:24).
3. I Must Confess My Sins And Ask To Be Cleansed Of All Sin. If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9).
4. I Must Believe That He Has Done It. I Must Take God at His Word. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).
5. I Must Forsake My Sins. To repent means to forsake or turn away from. He will give us power to do this. “But as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12). "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation" (2 Cor 7:10). "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19)
