In 1996, Refuge was created to be a sister group to the already established group FOCUS. Similar to FOCUS, Refuge was a worship ministry that traveled to many churches, schools, and special events to share their gift of music. In 2008 Refuge had reached a new milestone, it became a full worship band that served in the weekly Quest service. Since then, Refuge has grown substantially and is now the official worship band for the Convocation held every Wednesday afternoon and the monthly worship night, Fuego, at Houston Baptist
University.
