Our Mission
To offer hope by supplying relief, aid, and care for physical and emotional suffering in Denton County.
About Our Ministry
First Refuge Ministries is a faith-based 501(c)3 non-profit and para-church ministry that exists for the sake of the Gospel and the good of those in need. We do this by supplying medical services, dental services, professional counseling, and food to individuals and families.
Our Vision
To see generous contributions supply those in need, thanksgiving overflow, confessions in the Gospel of Christ, and Denton County glorify God.
Mission Verse
Matthew 25:40 (ESV)
And the King will answer them, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
Vision Verse
2 Corinthians 9:12-13 (ESV)
For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. By their approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others.
The Heart of it all
We base our ministry mission and vision around a New Testament theme known as "The Collection for the Saints” (1 Cor. 16:1-3; 2 Cor. 8-9; Acts 11:27-30; Rom. 15:25-26, 31; Gal. 2:10). Which was a 1st Century Church relief ministry.
