Our goal is to strengthen leaders and churches through ReFocusing processes that lead to personal renewal for leaders and strategic focus for churches.
Why do we need ReFocusing?
Leaders need personal renewal.
Somewhere between the list of unfinished tasks and the tyranny of the urgent is God’s vision and call on your life and your church. You didn’t lack vision when you took this job, but now you sense your mission is getting buried beneath a myriad of demands. It’s time to refocus. You need a place and a process to hear that fresh call from God—to surrender to God’s voice again.
Congregations need corporate renewal.
Churches also come to crossroads, find themselves having reached a plateau in their development, or become bogged down in busyness. They need to rediscover God’s calling and to reposition their ministries for greater future effectiveness.
What is ReFocusing?
ReFocusing is a two-phase revitalization process for a local church.
In
Phase One of the ReFocusing process, pastors and congregational leaders experience personal renewal as they clarify their calling and surrender afresh to God’s rule in their lives.
In
Phase Two of the ReFocusing process, leaders gain an understanding of God’s call on their church through a series of summits. Leaders discover God’s unique shaping in the history of the church, clarify the church’s values, and gain a greater understanding of its community context. Vision is crystallized and a clear ministry direction that matches the congregation’s unique shaping is identified.
