Step 3: Attend Orientation
Orientation is our version of what’s called “Intake” in some other places. You do not need to call to make a reservation or let us know that you are coming.

The first hour is dedicated to an informational session.
-
We’ll give you an overview of what to expect the Refuge 13-month Men’s Residential Ministry.
-
Next disciples who are currently in the Refuge Ministry or others who have graduated will share their stories.
-
We’ll then hold an open Q&A session to answer any questions you may have. (You can find the answers to many frequently asked questions about our Men’s and Women's Ministry here)
-
Once everyone’s questions have been answered, we’ll ask any men and women who are interested in joining to conduct a short interview in a private room.
