Sharing the peace and community of God’s abundant table.
Where you are welcomed, nurtured, and known
Refuge Home Church is a faith community in Durham, NC. We gather for weekly worship and a meal in homes or at the park.
We typically offer two services every Sunday at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. On the second Sunday of every month, we gather in one service at 10 a.m.

We are a church for the disillusioned.
