We are so excited to officially welcome Heath, Kaitlyn, and Jovie to the Refuge family! ❤️
We’ve been praying and asking God to send us the right leaders for our Youth & Young Adults, and we’re so thankful that He answered those prayers so quickly. We truly believe God has sent this family to Refuge for such a time as this, and we can’t wait to see what He does through them!
Here’s a little more about them 👇
⚔️ HEATH
Heath is a big Star Wars nerd, loves all things nostalgia, is a Knicks fan, and considers coffee a necessity. ☕️😂
He has coached Fine Arts since 2022 and competed at the district and national levels from 2011–2017. One of his greatest passions is helping the next generation discover, develop, and understand the gifts God has placed inside of them.
Heath loves quality time, being around people, and hearing their stories. He’s excited to build relationships and invest in the next generation at Refuge!
💛 KAITLYN
Originally from Louisiana, Kaitlyn has lived in four other states—and Alabama will officially be #5!
She has served with Royal Family Kids Camp, a summer camp for children in foster care, for seven years. In her free time, she loves thrift shopping, discovering new coffee shops, and playing pickleball.
Most of all, she’s pumped to meet everyone and spend time getting to know our youth and young adults!
🎶 JOVIE
And then there’s Jovie—the life of the party! 😂❤️
She loves to sing and dance, and her current favorite songs are Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes and the Gilmore Girls theme song.
She’s extremely outgoing, loves waving and saying “hey” to everyone she sees, and she’ll be your best friend—especially if you have snacks. 😋
Refuge family, help us welcome Heath, Kaitlyn, and Jovie!
We prayed. God answered. And we believe the best is ahead for Refuge Youth & Young Adults! 🙌🔥
