Refuge is always making 'room at the table' through our Missional Communities and DNA groups. Our hope is as they grow, they separate to form more MC's, so likewise this list will be changing often to include new Missional Communities.
Currently we have five MCs: PaceSetters, Joy Group, This Is Us, Collective and Redeemed.

Meet Our MC's
PaceSetters: From young families with and without children, to singles, retirees and everyone in-between, The PaceSetters Missional Community is a family group that supports and loves one another. We eat together, play together, go to ball games together, and go on mission together. We learn from God’s Word, pray with and for each other, provide and receive encouragement and support, and learn how to be a follower of Jesus Christ…together. Led by our Pastor, Scott Carlson and his wife Sarah, the PaceSetters' desire is to lead the way in starting more MC’s as they grow to make more room around the table for all the people who call Refuge home. We are family. We are servants. We are missionaries.

Joy Group: The Joy group (Just Over Youth) is primarily made up of retired senior adults, but all are welcome. Our goals are to support one another and members of the Refuge with prayer and deeds. We meet Tuesdays afternoons twice a month in a member's home. We share a meal together, play games, have devotion and pray for the needs of our group and others. Currently our mission goals are: to help with funeral dinners, babysit children of church members, driving members of the Refuge to appointments, helping others when needed and a card ministry.
The Joy group is led by Merle Hartman and his wife Barbara and can be reached at (918) 284-2321.
