MEET THE TEAM

We are committed to living out the five-fold ministry to serve our church community, and take a team-centric approach built on humility. According to Paul, we should “do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. (Phil. 2:3-4) We strive to live this out as we lead.

Jesse & Rebecca Lambert

CO-PASTORS OF THE REFUGE

Jesse and Rebecca had very different beginnings, Jesse as a military kid and United States Marine, and Rebecca as a missionary kid and singer/songwriter.  Now the Lord is using them and their stories individually and as a couple to lead others to Jesus. In the past they have served children, youth, and adults.  

Jesse has been involved in everything from media teams and set-up/tear down to leading men and family groups.  Folks love that he is approachable and kind, and he challenges them to grow as disciples of Jesus and as leaders in their community.  

Rebecca is a gifted worship leader, something she has been involved with since she was a child; she loves to teach others that worship is a lifestyle that affects everyone in our sphere of influence.  

Both of our pastors are anointed speakers, and feel humbled that the Holy Spirit would choose to use them to serve in His church.
