Follow Me
There is nothing wrong with studying Jesus or learning about Jesus. But discipleship is something deeper, higher, greater, and more glorious. Jesus does not say, "Study Me." He says, "Follow Me." This series, through the Gospel of Mark, will allow us again and again to see Jesus, hear Jesus, and obey the call to follow Jesus.
What is the Church?
We are living at a time when confusion about the church might be at an all time high. The burning question for such a time as this is "What is the Church?" Our sincere hope is that this series will not only be clarifying, but empowering and healing.
Tommy Wesley's Installation
Pastor Jason gave the ordination charge to Pastor Tommy, and Pastor Jonathan delivered the ordination charge to the congregation. We also had the opportunity to hear a brief response from Pastor Tommy.
Warmth, To Depth, To Breadth
We are focused on following Christ in the mission that he has for our church. Selfish desires must not twist the way we treat or regard others and it changes the way we regard ourselves. Christ now controls the reigns of our life!
Warmth to Depth
This series of messages seeks to lay out the stunning and compelling vision that Christ has for his church as we grow in our understanding and experience of what it means to go deeper together as God's people.
On Mission as Citizens of Heaven
The book of Philippians highlights that when we unite as a church with the purpose of Jesus we will share together in the heart of Jesus and as a result the joy of the Lord will be our strength and shield.
Happy 20th Anniversary, Urban Refuge!
Join us as we celebrate God's faithfulness at Urban Refuge Church over the last 20 years.
Meekness & Majesty
This year our advent theme is meekness and majesty. We will be surveying the greatest journey in all of history. We will watch the Son of God go from majesty to meekness and then from meekness to majesty.
The Meaning of Baptism
Join us this Sunday as we explore the meaning of baptism. We will not only learn about baptism from all of Scripture, but we will also have a chance to witness multiple baptisms in response to the message.
Summer in the Psalms
The Psalms will not only speak to us (like all of Scripture), but speak for us. The Psalms minister to us in a mighty way because they give us language for every season of the soul. They can speak for us when we do not quite have the words to express our joy, lament, thanksgiving, weeping, praise, or trust.
Upreach, Inreach, Outreach
As we prepare to enter the throne room once more, we will see that God the Son - Jesus the Redeemer - is worthy of worship. Let's prepare our hearts for worship as we will set our minds on the things above.
Easter Sunday
Many people today wonder what it would take to know that Jesus is risen. What would it take to know that truth and have it change your life forever?
Palm Sunday
Let us not put Jesus in a box constructed from our own assumptions and expectations. We want our hearts to be aligned with who he says he is and what he says he has come to do.
Live a Gospel Life
A deep dive into the virtues of the Urban Refuge as we explore the new life that flows from the power of the gospel that keeps in step with the truth of the gospel.

Find Rest. Live Restored. Respond With Compassion.
This series of messages highlight the flow of grace we long for everyone to experience at the Urban Refuge.
There is Hope
Do not buy the watered-down version of worldly hope. The world uses that word differently than the Bible. Biblical hope is God-centered certainty in what is true and cannot change.
Godness of God
The God-sized Gallery of Isaiah 40. Isaiah is saying, “Yes, God’s promise is big, but not bigger than him. His checks are big, but they don’t bounce. You can take them to the bank. He can do what he says because he is who he is.
The Lord is my Shepherd
Psalm 23:
Because the Lord Is My Shepherd (v. 1)
I Have Everything I Need (vv. 1–6)
Flowing Water
Jason Meyer is announced as the Lead Pastor Candidate. Pastor Chad Oltman encourages us to be people who seek God’s flow. A church that where the flow of Christ moves in and through us.
Take the Word of God with you.
