refine 25
welcome to refine 25 (18-25s)
Refine was established in 2018, as a connect group for 18-25 year olds, to create a space for young believers at a time in their lives when they make important life decisions. Seun & Tosin Odeneye lead this ministry and have a clear vision of what they want to see:
1. A community of young believers.
We are currently in our second wave of Refiners. We have seen some young people from our youth ministry graduate into Refine, new people getting saved, and life long relationships developed. Every week, we witness young adults be encouraged, challenged and stay accountable to each other.
“Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
Hebrews 10 :25
“Refine has been an essential part of my journey with Christ. The various events that are put on and the opportunities to meet, mean that I get to experience true fellowship with young believers.” – Faith Kanu
2. Innovation in evangelism: driving new ideas on what we can do to see people know Jesus.
If we are going to reach more people and see more converts in this age bracket, then we really need to embrace a culture of ideation. Because of this, we encourage everyone (new and old) to come up with ideas on how we can evangelise. Since our launch, we have put on new and different types of events, such as Debates on topics Christian’s don’t normally talk about, games nights, poetry nights, football tournaments, and more.
We have our monthly service on the 1st Friday of every month @ 19:00 in Drama studio 2, Harris Academy Bermondsey. On months where we have a Friday evangelical event, the service will be on the 2nd Friday.
We also meet for bible study and fellowship, two Fridays a month @ Seun & Tosin’s house.
“It has been so rewarding working with Refine, seeing young people make decisions for God and grow in their relationship with Jesus! It really has become a place for like-minded young adults to come together and do life! If you’re between the ages of 18 and 25, this is the place to be!”
