Refocus is an 18-30 month revitalization process that produces harvest-focused churches led by church leaders committed to a vision and the raising up of leaders. It’s a leadership development process which helps pastors, leaders and churches bring strategic focus to their lives and ministries.  The ultimate goal is churches healthy enough to multiply both small groups and new churches!
	Phase 1 – Focusing Leaders Personal Renewal Precedes Congregational  Renewal A natural inclination for all leaders and churches is to drift toward maintenance, the path of least resistance.  Focused Leaders are continually moving away from maintenance and toward greater alignment with the missional heart of God.  As a safe-place supportive environment, Phase One not only develops focused leaders but also enhances their capacity for developing others.
	Phase 2 – Refocusing Your Church Congregational  Renewal Leads to a Greater Harvest Phase Two of the Refocusing network system picks up right here Focusing Leaders leaves off. Phase Two develops strategic leaders who have the capacity to lead change in their church.  In addition, Phase Two will help leaders implement the personal discoveries made during Phase One while also empowering them to bring focus, clarity, and courage to their congregation.
