those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things
which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Jesus Christ." |

Elder George N. Bloomfield, Pastor Refuge Church was born in Jamaica West Indies, August 10, 1930. He has been married for over 40 years and has 6 children. Elder Bloomfield moved to the United States from Jamaica in the early sixties and lived in New York and Chicago. He moved from the Island to make a better life for himself and his family. He started over from scratch, raised wonderful children with his wife and most important of all founded and pastored Refuge Temple Church. Pastor Bloomfield has been serving the Lord faithfully for over 50 years and has been pastoring for over 25 years. He really loves the Lord and puts God first. Elder Bloomfield's motto is that the church family is closer to him than his blood family. He has labored unselfishly for the last 25 years and has a genuine love for the people of God.
Refuge Temple Church was founded by Pastor George Nelson Bloomfield. The church began in the living room of Pastor Bloomfield's home in 1983. Pastor Bloomfield labored faithfully with the late Bishop Howard at the Shiloh Apostolic Church where he served as the Assistant Pastor for a number of years before God called him to Pastor. Refuge Temple Church remained at Pastor Bloomfield's home for a year before God blessed with a small location at 1208 S. 17th Avenue. Pastor Bloomfield and the saints labored and served God for years at the small store front location. The church continued to grow over the years, many Ministers and Pastors were born out of Refuge Temple and under Pastor's Bloomfield's leadership. Pastor Bloomfield nurtured and allowed God fearing saints to grow and gain experience in the pulpit. He is not selfish with his pulpit and continues to allow saints to grow and develop. God blessed and the church expanded from a small store front location at 1208 S. 17th Avenue to 1208 - 1210 South 17th Avenue. Currently Pastor Bloomfield is being assisted by Acting Pastor Peter Thompson. We believe on God's standard of salvation, as on the Day of Pentecost, when over 120 were filled with the Holy Spirit followed by sign performed in the name of Jesus. Mark
