"God is our Refuge and Strength, an ever present help in trouble."

Psalm 46:1

Our Youth Pastor

Refuge Youth Ministry is spear-headed by Pastor David Scruggs, Jr. and his wife Michelle.  Pastor Dave has served as the youth pastor for First Assembly since August of 1994. They have been involved in youth ministry for over 10 years.

Pastor Dave spent his Middle School and High School years in Gastonia.  He then attended Southeastern College of the Assemblies of God, where he graduated with a Pastoral Ministries Major and a Music Minor.  It was at Southeastern where he met Michelle.  Upon graduation, Pastor Dave became the youth pastor of Calvary Assembly of God in Greensboro, NC.  He and Michelle married one year later.  In 1994 the opportunity opened for them to return to Gastonia.  God has blessed in many ways.

"The theme verse for my life is Ephesians 5:15, 'Be very careful then how you live, making the most of every opportunity ...'"
