Basic Info
The Focus Conference 2011 will take place October 7-9, 2011. Conference starts at 7:00pm on Friday; registration opens at 6:00pm.
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1,2 (NAS)
The theme of this conference is centered around Hebrews 12, fixing our eyes—or focusing—on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith. Focus 2010 aims to give young people an opportunity to break away from the distractions of their everyday busy lives and focus on the One who set the example for each of us of what a life of faith looks like. We will take time to hear from God’s Word, join in worship and praise in song and activity and take some time to rest and focus our hearts and minds on Jesus.
