Pastor's Corner


Greetings from theRefuge.  My name is Scott Benjamin and I am the pastor of theRefuge, a new church in Lakeland, TN.  We are a group of people who believe in and are being changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether you are checking out Christianity for the first time, have been out of church for a while, or have been in church your entire life, theRefuge may be a good home for you.

No matter where you live in Memphis or the surrounding area, our building is located just a short drive away and we would love for you to visit us some Sunday evening.  We are located at 9817 Huff ‘N’ Puff Road, just off I-40 East at Exit 20. We are a work in progress, but we believe God has a wonderful plan for us here at theRefuge and we would love for you to be a part of it.

Every Sunday at 5 p.m. we meet for a time of worship as we sing, pray and fellowship, followed a message from the Bible.  Our hope is to make much of Jesus as we see the gospel transform everything – our selves, our families, our church, our city, and our culture.

Check out more about us here on our website. You should find answers to most of your questions here. If you do need more information, you can call me at 901-372-7890 or send me a message here.

I would love to meet you soon on a Sunday night at 5.

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 22:37-39
