Happy 20th Anniversary, Urban Refuge!
Urban Refuge was planted out of Hometown Church (formerly Evergreen Community Church) in Bloomington, MN, which embraced a “one church, many locations” strategy for reaching the Twin Cities and beyond with the love of Christ.
In 1999, Pastor Andy Gray led a team of volunteers on a “Mission to the City,” a new outreach committed to demonstrating Christ-like kindness to the people of Minneapolis. God used that time and stirred members’ hearts to plant a church in the city in January of 2003.
Over the past 20 years, the heart of Urban Refuge Church has been cultivating a community of Jesus followers to build a compassion-filled urban church with and for future generations. We strive toward this by being a people that do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly (Micah 6:8). Our hope is to reflect the diversity of our city while embracing oneness in Christ. Our congregation is composed of servant-hearted believers in Jesus, eager to grow and make an impact with their lives.
Join us as we celebrate God's faithfulness at Urban Refuge Church over the last 20 years.
20th Anniversary Service
