Our History

Refuge was birthed out of a move of God on a Sunday morning in June of 2001 in a home just outside of New Brockton, Alabama.  Our founding (and current) pastor is Bro. Greg Adkins of Elba, Alabama.  The first service was awesome; several were saved.  There were about 30 people of all ages crammed in a small living room for that first service!  On that same Sunday night, after the second service with about 35 present, the new congregation saw a need for a church building.  The next day the Lord helped them find our current church building located at 7842 Highway 51 in New Brockton, Alabama.  Refuge Church had very humble beginnings. The very first service in the new building was one very practical. We had about fifty rented folding chairs and with bare cement floors. We used an old piece of a counter top for our pulpit. But we had church! The next Sunday the Lord blessed us with new carpet and some used pews out of Springfield Community Church in Panama City, FL. Over the next few years we began working on our little church. In 2005 we began a project and expanded our fellowship hall, added a foyer, and a new nursery. In June of 2007 we saw the need to renovate the Sanctuary. We pulled out all of the old blue carpet and green pews. We fully renovated the Sanctuary with new carpet and new furniture. But most of all aside from the new carpet and furniture, We want the power of the almighty God to fill our Sanctuary. We pray that every service lives will be changed. We have seen tremendous growth over the past couple of months from a congregation of about 50-60 to over 100 in our Sunday Morning Worship!!! But most important we are growing not only in number, but we are growing more spiritual as a church body. God has really moved here at Refuge Church and we would like to extend a personal invitation to you and your family to come be with us!   On March 29, 2009, Refuge Church moved to a new building.  It is located in the city limits of Enterprise, Alabama.  With the move, we have more than doubled the size of our Sanctuary.   

About The Area

Refuge Church is located in the small town of New Brockton, Alabama until we move into our new facility in Enterprise.   Enterprise has seen a major growth in population over the past five years.  A majority of the growth can be focused on the nearby army aviation training at Ft. Rucker only a few miles away. There are several shops, eateries and hotels for you entertainment and lodging. Also, Dothan, AL is only thirty miles away offering several venues for shopping and entertainment such as the Wiregrass Commons Mall, Dothan Pavilion, Adventure Land and Water World. 

Enterprise is also accredited for having one of the best school system's in the state of Alabama. However, sadly on March 1, 2007 nine lives were lost when a massive EF4 tornado struck our beautiful city stretching from one side of town to another. Making a path over 1/2 mile wide. Eight lives were lost at the Enterprise High School and one elderly woman died at her residence on College Street. Although much of the debris has been cleaned up and new schools are under construction, we will not forget the events that transpired on March 1, 2007. However this only made the people of Enterprise stronger and we will rebuild.

So, if you are making plans to attend Refuge Church whether it be for a Sunday worship service or a special occasion. Enterprise, AL and the surrounding communities will be sure to make you feel right at home!!!
