    In the first moment that my family walked into The Refuge Murrells Inlet, we were met by Pastor Benji and immediately felt the genuine love He has for the Lord and the Kingdom. Benji is a humble, loving and spirit led pastor. When he speaks, preaches, and teaches, it’s with an excitement and love for God and that is contagious. It’s a hard feeling to describe but upon first meeting him, he felt immediately familiar, like family, like I had known him my whole life. I’m hearing from God every week, surrounded by a loving fellowship, and leaving church feeling spiritually filled and encouraged. We are seeing God at work, answering prayers, doing miracles. Refuge MI is all the things a healthy church should be! Shout out to Pastor Shawn (AKA Handyman Hal) and Patty Wham whose love and talents amaze me every week. For a smaller church, what they are able to do with children’s and teen ministry and community involvement/events is unbelievable. This is a church and fellowship you just have to come and experience for yourself, and we can’t wait to greet you with Jesus’ love and grow spiritually with you as church family.

    The Refuge Murrells Inlet is exactly what church should be. Not only is everyone welcoming but loving. I instantly felt like part of a family and that bond has only grown since the first time I walked through the door. The church is also very community oriented, feeding the needy on Christmas Day and giving essential items to those who need them. If you’re looking for a family that works together to help people and bring them closer to Jesus then this is where you belong.

    This Refuge is truly a beacon of hope and a place of genuine spiritual growth. The emphasis on the Bible as the foundation of faith is evident in every sermon and every interaction. I've found the teachings to be both insightful and practical, challenging me to deepen my relationship with God and live a more Christ-centered life. The community is incredibly welcoming and supportive, making it easy to feel connected and valued as a member. I highly recommend this church to anyone seeking a faith-filled and life-giving experience.
