“Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
- The Letter to the Ephesians
THERE'S THE REALITY
Division Makes for Bad Math In the House of God
AND ISOLATION HAS PROVEN TO BE A ZERO-SUM GAME
We all live in a time when people are quick to argue and slow to listen. Differences divide us. Echo chambers isolate us. Certainty replaces curiosity. And in the process, we lose both truth and one another.
AND THEN THERE'S THE TRUTH
Iron Sharpens Iron.
COME AND TEST YOUR METTLE
IN The Refinery
In the Refinery, ideas are tested, hearts are sharpened, and faith is strengthened through honest, respectful, and charitable conversation. We don’t run from hard questions. We run toward them together—in the name of Jesus.
And speaking of Jesus...
JESUS PRAYED
"That they all may be one..."
On His final night before the cross, as he dined with His brothers, Jesus prayed that His followers “may all be one … so that the world may believe.”
The Refinery exists as a gathering of brothers in fervent pursuit of making the heart of that prayer a present reality.
We bring Christian brothers together across denominational lines to wrestle honestly with the critical issues facing the Church and culture—refining our convictions without making enemies of one another, pursuing truth without abandoning love, and rediscovering a way forward marked by unity in the essentials, liberty in the non-essentials, and charity in all things.
