Download an FAQ all about FOCUS 2009!

Focus 2009 provides attendees with innovative workshops, unique worship experiences, inspiring preachers, dynamic speakers, relevant resources, and networking opportunities that will support them in creating, renewing and revitalizing ministries locally and globally. This is in keeping with one of the four focus areas adopted by the 2008 United Methodist General Conference:

"Creating new places for new people by starting new congregations and renewing existing ones. If we are to remain faithful to our commitment to transform the world, we will reach out with genuine hospitality to people wherever they are. We will make them feel welcome as we start new faith communities, seek to renew existing ones and inspire faithful discipleship."

The primary audience for FOCUS is local church staff and laity involved with children’s ministries including Sunday school teachers and weekday ministry staff; district and conference staff, coordinators of children’s ministries, and clergy.
