1. Read the House of Refuge statement 2 times a year from the pulpit and post the statement publicly on your website and/or lobby. Please note: your church may make minor changes to the statement as long as it doesn’t change the fundamental message. The message ultimately should reflect that we desire to help families within the church and the community as a safe place for people to run to, and not to run from.

3. Be ready to follow through with what you are stating when you read the statement to your people.
