MEET OUR FOUNDER
PASTOR SEON & LADY ANGELA THOMPSON
Pastor Seon F. Thompson, an anointed visionary founded Refuge Temple Church of Flint in 2004. Refuge Temple Church of Flint was birthed out of much prayer and a specific word from the Lord that “His people needed refuge.” In the first 10 years, the church flourished in membership.
Refuge Temple Church has grown in apostolic power. Pastor Thompson's vision is for the church to become a multi-cultural ministry touching the communities within the community and abroad. He strives to add knowledge and power to families to produce perpetual effects that promote the best possible quality of life. He focuses on helping people understand who they are, enjoy who they are, and work where they are in Christ Jesus.
Pastor Thompson and his wife, Lady Angela, are devoted examples of Godly-leadership. The combination of Pastor Thompson’s pure God-given anointing, melodic presentation, deep understanding of the Word, and polished delivery has been a staple of his ministry.
Pastor Thompson retired from position Sr. Pastor of Refuge Temple in June 2018.
Pastor Thompson is now Pastor Emeritus of Refuge Temple.
