REFUGE has been the name of the youth ministry at Cloverdale for many years, and reflects the environment we seek to create for our students.


Psalm 91 describes the LORD as our Refuge: He provides shelter and safety, and we can put our trust in Him. We seek to reflect this in our youth ministry by:

  • Providing students with a haven from the struggles, pressures, and expectations of the world.

  • Creating a safe place where students are loved, appreciated, and free to ask questions and wrestle with doubts.

  • Helping students come to know and trust the ultimate Refuge.
