Refuge Ministry

OUR PURPOSE

Refuge Ministry Center (RMC) is a counseling ministry of Ramoth Baptist Church. We were established to provide sound biblical counsel, encouragement, and guidance through the issues and concerns that plague the lives of believers and non-believers. Being led by God and His word, we seek to help those in need, with God's truth and direction. There is solace to those in despair if they seek God's assistance in their lives. We are a part of that assistance, as we offer love, support, and ministry dedicated to helping people become whole again through the healing and restoration of God's holy power.

WOMEN OVERCOMING DEPRESSION

THINGS ARE NOT HOPELESS… YOU ARE NOT HELPLESS… YOU ARE NOT WORTHLESS.

Perhaps you have felt down, lethargic, or out of sorts for a few weeks, or maybe this heaviness has smothered you for months…even years.

If you feel you are experiencing defeat in any area of your life, you are welcome to join this group of over comers as we meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday.
For more information, or to sign up for this group, please contact

Next meeting dates
July 9th and 23rd at 1:00PM in Room 306.


IN THE WILDFLOWERS

Survivors of Sexual Abuse Support Group
There is a natural reluctance to face sexual abuse.
The journey of healing and experiencing full joy involves bringing our wounded heart before God.
This is a choice that only you can make, to either listen to the shameful voices of the past, or to the voice of new life and freedom through healing in Christ.
