His Kingdom
Refine
We strive to allow Christ to shape us into Christ-like disciples each and every day.
Live
The Christian life is better in community. Through weekly gatherings and unique groups, we grow in Christ, together.
Grow
When a group of people all strive to live in Christ-like community, we become a light for the world to help grow the Kingdom of God.
Refine
Preach The Word
We preach the Word of God in an expository manner in order to give respect to God’s Word and to understand its meaning in context. God’s word guides all that we do.
Refine
Worship In Spirit & Truth
Worship is not about a location or a ritual, it is about Jesus. Each week we worship with songs that point us to the truth of scripture and elevate Christ above all.
Refine
Pray According To God's Will
A praying church is an effective church. As a body of believers we seek the Lord and specifically seek His will in our lives as well as the community God has called us to serve.
Live
Use Our Gifts To Lift Up The Body Of Christ
God has given us all unique gifts that lift up the body of Christ. When we use our unique gifts we become a beacon to the world of the Kingdom of God here on earth.
Live
Protect The Flock
In any healthy church family, God has ordained mature believers to serve as elders to take care of the church and protect the flock. We believe that protecting God’s flock is a way to both love God and love God’s people.
Grow
Disciples Make Disciples
Everyone who puts their faith in Christ becomes one of His disciples. Jesus commanded His disciples to go and make more disciples. We desire to live this command out in all that we do.
Grow
Give Generously
2 Corinthians 8 teaches us that those who are a part of the church use their time, resources, and finances to serve the mission of Jesus. This is not something that is coerced, but rather something that is done out of eagerness to help accomplish the mission of Refinery Church.

Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ
Everything we do is because of the gospel. Millions in this world and thousands right here in Ortonville don’t know the gospel. Because of this it is our priority to equip believers to preach the good news in their person spheres of influence.
