The Refinery Church
Family Ministries
We’re on a mission to supercharge parents! Not everyone has a faith squad, so we’re here to build trust and connections inside and outside the church. We’ve got a Sunday experience that links seamlessly to home life, fun family events, the Parent Cue app, and social media magic to keep families in the loop and engaged—plus, we sprinkle in some discipleship to nurture parents within the church. Let’s do this together!

We meet during both services at 9:30 + 11AM.
