re:focus ... celebrating who you are and developing your crossingplaces

 

re:focus is an updated, more flexible version of the BUGB Mission Consultancy scheme developed in 2003.  re:focus has been developed in modules to make it suitable for a wide variety of churches.  User-friendly, it assumes two external facilitators will work with each church on the re:focus journey that may take 6 to 12 months.  Facilitators will normally be provided by the association.


re:focus may be used for a church wanting to develop a mission strategy to apply for a grant.

 

re:focus incorporates thinking about the individual disciple’s crossingplaces as well as the crossingplaces opportunities of the church.  It also embraces life-long discipleship and missional spirituality in what is presented to the church through the preparatory sermons and small group work.  The re:focus journey is inclusive of people of all ages within the church.

 

 

Comprehensive resources are provided or suggested in the later modules.  In some modules, resources are brought together in unique way, for example from the Baptist Union Corporation, the Mission and Communications Departments when looking at how best to make the buildings we use suitable and welcoming for our local mission.  For this reason, individual modules may well stand alone as a way of helping churches.

 

If you are interested in working through re:focus in your church, please contact your local Baptist Association for more information icon Mission Forum Contacts

  • 1 Corinthians 1:10
    “[A Church Divided Over Leaders] I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.”
