The Father’s Refuge Community!

Nestled on 40 peaceful acres in rural Dover, North Carolina, The Father’s Refuge Camp is more than a getaway—it’s a place to encounter the heart of God. Whether you come for rest, spiritual renewal, fellowship, or fun, our Christ-centered environment offers space to breathe, heal, and grow. From quiet walks by the pond to worship around the fire, every corner of our camp is designed to help you step away from the noise of life and rediscover the presence of the Father. Whether you’re a family, ministry leader, youth group, or recovery group, we welcome you to experience restoration in this sacred place set apart for encounter.

Core Values

Our Mission and Vision

The Father’s Refuge exists to be a Christ-centered sanctuary where individuals, families, and leaders encounter healing, discipleship, and restoration. Through retreats, camps, education, and outreach, we cultivate environments where people reconnect with God, rediscover their purpose, and are equipped to live transformed lives—spiritually, emotionally, and practically.

To establish a place where the presence of God dwells, and people from all walks of life can encounter Him deeply—experiencing restoration, transformation, and discipleship—while raising up leaders, strengthening families, and impacting communities for the Kingdom of God.
