Registration for the Central Focus Retreat is now open. The retreat will be October 4 – 6, 2021 at Deer Creek Lodge and Conference Center, 22300 State Park Road 20, Mt Sterling, Ohio.
The theme this year is ‘Movement,’ based on the Charis core value of ‘Biblical Mission.’
‘For this reason I left you in Crete, to set in order what remains…’ Titus 1:5
“I want us to come together and talk ministry shop,” says Phil Sparling, executive director of the Charis Fellowship, who will lead the retreat. “I want to help you continue to move your local mission forward. God has given you a unique gifting, landed you as leader of a unique faith family, to engage a unique local community. Let’s spend time together at Focus talking about practical tools to help you fulfill the local mission God has given to you. I believe if each of us can come away with three to four new or fresh ideas to get more movement to your local mission context, it will be time well spent. I look forward to seeing you there!”
Registration Deadline is September 20, 2021. There is a $20 price increase on September 8, 2021.
