Refocus

The Compassion by Design Needs Assessment/ reFOCUS Edition is designed for churches that are committed to reaching their community in a new way. For many leaders in churches that need revitalization and those that simply want to move into the next season of church life with a more external and community based approach, the needs assessment provides an opportunity to develop real insight into the needs of the community, as well as the development of a community focus and outreach "DNA" within the church itself. In the Compassion by Design approach to creating external focus a needs assessment is the first step towards the purposeful inclusion of community service in your church. Not only it isthe first step, it is the right step.
