Refuge

REFUGE at Crossway Fellowship is a group of jr & senior high school students devoted to following Jesus, studying the word, and pursuing one another in community. We wholeheartedly want to know Christ as our Savior and to make Him known to others. We submit to the total truth of Scripture, and we believe time spent studying the bible deepens our understanding of God, grows us spiritually, and encourages our faith. We want to make disciples—to equip young men and women with the truth of who Jesus is, what he has done, and what that means for us—and see that understanding takes root and transforms more lives for his glory.

Currently, we are studying Spiritual Disciplines, The Gospel, and How to have relationships as disciples of Jesus.
As disciples of the Lord Jesus, we understand that we are called to discipline ourselves for godliness.
Also, we know that the Gospel is the central theme of the Christian life; living under the Gospel's authority and proclaiming the Gospel is our sacred calling.
Lastly, we know that we have been created to live in community. God gave men and women the blessing to have the desire to know each other, and He has blessed humanity with the passion that a man and a woman will have the desire to grow in an intimate relationship with each other. Therefore, as disciples of Jesus, we want Biblical foundations to have relationships that will glorify the Lord.

REFUGE meets weekly on Wednesday nights, 6:30 pm-8:30 pm. Come for a time of games, worship, and study of the gospel. All Jr & Sr. High School students are welcome.

Refuge Leaders

As Refuge leaders, we are first and foremost committed to the authority of Scripture. We believe that God has, in His grace, allowed us to get to know him better, serve Him, and glorify Him every day. We see ourselves not as activity coordinators or as entertainers of a youth group program but as shepherds of God's people. We believe that meaningful relationships are essential in the development of becoming more like Christ and we as a team are eager to come alongside the youth in a discipleship relationship. We believe it is essential to provide godly and qualified leaders to both girls and boys. For this reason we emphasize leadership that is provided by both. Refuge pursues building up men and women of God that will glorify Him with everything they have!

I'm from Mexico! I’ve been involved in youth ministries for more than ten years and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Divinity at SBTS. I will love to become a missionary some day. I love watching sports and movies, listening to music, traveling, hanging out with my friends, and eating. I enjoy several podcasts like Pastors talk, The Briefing, and The crossway podcast. My favorite Bible verse is Job 42:5.

I moved to Seattle in October 2020 so that I could be closer to family and am absolutely loving Crossway and getting to know everyone here! I´m a marketing manager for an education publishing company, but enjoy all things business, entrepreneurship, and graphic design. My favorite podcasts are Business Lunch and The Briefing, my favorite book is Living Life Backward by David Gibson, and my favorite Bible passage is Psalm 55.

Refuge Leader
I have been going to Crossway for about five years and I absolutely love my family here and I enjoy serving and worshiping with them each week! When I am not trying to find a new place to hike, camp, hanging out with friends, or travel I work as a nurse in the ER. Lord willing I would love to use my skills as a nurse overseas in the mission field. My favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 40:31.
