The Refining Messages
|
Children MinistriesWe don't babysit here at The Refinery. We engage children and expose children to God's word as early as the nursery years. Here they also learn to share and play with peers. Caring workers will ensure your child's care, fun and safety while you worship. |
Nursery Provided!We want to make sure that we provide a safe environment for every age group in our church, and that starts most importantly in our nursery. With a combination of paid nursery workers and volunteers, we are able to provide an environment during every service for your children who are ages 0-3. |
WHY THE REFINERY?"We are a Christ-like body of believers deeply rooted in refining people through engaging worship, biblical truth, and reaching the lost and needy wherever they may be. May God refine us as we find others who need to be refined." |

We are a church within the Nazarene denomination. We are proud of our denominational heritage, but understand that even within denominations churches look and function very differently. Because of this, we have 6 values that will always shape and guide us as a congregation. No matter what the world looks like, no matter who is leading, we will always stand for these things. We call these 6 things our core values, and they explain better than anything else who we are.
WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?
Membership
Membership is an important step in the life of any follower of Christ. Membership is when you decide not to just "join" a church but to bind together with them in what they are doing in the world. In class, we will cover what a church is, what the Nazarene Church stands for, what The Refinery stands for, and what we expect of our members.
Coming to the membership class does not mean you are required to join the church. It is open for anyone who is curious about what it means to be a member of our church.

Baptism
Already a member? Baptism is your next step! Baptism is a public declaration of a new identification in Christ. To be saved requires a "personal" confession that Jesus Christ is Lord. To be baptized requires a "public" confession that Jesus Christ is Lord. To be baptized at The Refinery, we require that everyone go through one of our baptism classes. Classes will go through why we celebrate baptism, what it means to be baptized and how to give your personal story of faith.
Coming to a baptism class does not mean you are committing to being baptized; you can come just to check it out and see what is going on.
