REFUGE LA (NORTH HOLLYWOOD)
About the Family
Kris was born and raised in Los Angeles. Growing up in a dysfunctional
family, Kris turned to gangs and crime. As a result, Kris spent a good
portion of his youth and early adulthood incarcerated. After being shot in
2003, Kris was on a fast track to death or long-term incarceration. While
incarcerated one last time, God spoke.

Immediately after conversion, Kris began to sense a call on his life to
see the gospel advanced in the urban context. The following years
would be defined by transformation and training, preparing him to
ultimately plant Refuge LA in 2013. Prior to this, Kris participated in
multiple business ventures, worked in large-scale commercial
construction and served as a pastor in the Soma family of churches.
Kris has been married to his beautiful wife, Jennifer, since 2005; they
have three children. Kris has a heart to see the gospel transform the city
of LA while breaking through cultural, socio-economic and racial
barriers that have divided the city far too long
About the Church Plant
Refuge exists to see lives, the city and the world changed by the
gospel. Los Angeles is a city with many dreams and little hope. From
hip cafés with aspiring movie stars to immigrant communities plagued
by gang violence and fading hope in El Sueño Americano, everyone's a
friend if you help him progress. LA is a city of transplants where things
are rebuilt constantly and brokenness is masked by palm trees and
retrofitted condos. Communities still feel the effects of redlining, and
segregation goes further than color. Everyone is part of a clique or
crowd, seeing themselves as superior to those who differ. Our city
needs more than cheap slogans and another promise of temporal joy; it
needs new hope; it needs a Refuge; it needs the Church!
