We’d love to have you at REFUGE this year!

Monday, January 16th, 2012

It’s not too late (or too early) to make plans to attend REFUGE this September!  As a reminder, REFUGE is free gift to you who are serving in student ministry across the country.  It is 2 days of renewal, away from the craziness of youth ministry, for you to recharge.  Bring your spouse!  Bring your youth workers if you’d like!  We’d love to have you.

When we hosted REFUGE in 2010, our personalities included David Platt, Kristian Stanfill, Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, Gregg Matte, Matt Carter, Aaron Keyes, Mandi Mapes, Tony Merida, and Mark Hall of Casting Crowns.  We look forward to hosting friends like these again in September.  More information will come regarding the specifics.

There are 3 locations to make it easier for you to attend.  Hotel blocks will be set up in each of these cities near the venue.

Dallas (Sept. 10-11, 2012) at Prestonwood Baptist Church

Birmingham (Sept. 17-18, 2012) at The Church at Brook Hills

Orlando (Sept. 24-25, 2012) at First Baptist Church

For now, mark your calendar and click the “Sign Us Up” button to let us know of your plans to attend.  We look forward to our time together in September!

Birmingham Info

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Our team just got off the road Wednesday night from our journey to Dallas for the REFUGE experience there this past Monday and Tuesday.  What an incredible time we had together in the the Word, in worship, and in prayer.  We are very excited to see the Birmingham crowd this coming week!

As you make final preparations for the journey, please keep a few things in mind.

1.  If you still need hotel accommodations, there are rooms available at the Drury Inn, and you need to call the group reservations line to get the Student Life rate (800.325.0720).  There are also a few rooms left at the Hilton.

2.  The address for The Church at Brook Hills is 3145 Brook Highland Parkway (Birmingham AL 35242)  Traffic around the Highway 280 corridor near the church is always stacked up during rush hour, so please keep this in mind for your travel arrangements.

3.  Monday night, the doors will open at 6pm with the first session beginning at 7pm.  Look at our Schedule tab for the details of each session.  When you arrive, you will see Student Life staff that will be directing you inside the building to the worship room.

4.  We are unable to offer childcare for REFUGE.  Please plan accordingly.

5.  Pray, Pray, Pray.  We trust that God will move in your hearts, your lives, and the ministries He has entrusted to you.  We can’t wait to see that unfold!
