Who we are

City of Refuge Christian Center is a Spirit-led, non-denominational church. We gather each Sunday to worship God with gladness, to hear His Word taught clearly, and to pray for one another.

Whether you are young or old, have followed Jesus for years, or are just beginning to ask questions, you are welcome here. You don't need to have everything figured out to belong.

Our name

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Psalm 46:1
Our name

In the Old Testament, God set apart cities of refuge: places where anyone in need could run and find safety (Joshua 20).

It is our prayer that City of Refuge Christian Center would be exactly that for New Orleans. A place of refuge for anyone who needs one.

Pastors Calvin Hinton Sr. and Susan Hinton
