General Info

A Place of Refuge began in February of 1988, when a cry of help was made to Sis. Shelia Brown, and she contacted Bro. Barry Walker, who was having a bible study at Walker Funeral Home. Bro., Walker had been praying for the Lord to lead him to a church that believed in the bible without compromise, and Sis. Brown had been praying too. Sis. Brown and Bro. Walker set up a prayer meeting in her home, and as the meeting was taking place, the Lord prophesied through Sis. Brown saying He would have A Place of Refuge for hurting people who love Him, and desire to please the Him. Sis. Brown and Bro. Walker's family along with Julia McClendon, Betty Springer, and a few more were in the basement when the word of prophesy came through, and all committed themselves to fulfill the will of God. The first service was held at Walker Funeral Home in March of 1988. Sis. Brown was chosen of God to be Head Evangelist and Bro. Walker was chosen of God to be Pastor. George Brown was appointed as Head Deacon and Sis. Kathy Walker as Church Secretary and Betty Springer as Head Usher. Sis. Belle Robinson became a part of the church and Sis. Barbara Reese and Sis. Annie Crowder, and the service at the funeral home was noised abroad throughout the city.The vision of our church is to make people productive in every aspect of life.
