reFOCUS Needs Assessment Kit for Churches
reFOCUS Community Needs Assessment Kit for Externally Focused Churches
Whether you have firmly established your church as externally focused, or you are on the way there, you need to complete the practical process of understanding community needs in order to find that sweet spot of focused ministry through service. The intersection of the needs of the city, the mandates of God and the calling and capacity of the local church (The Externally Focused Church Rusaw, Swanson). One of the critical steps in the process of becoming externally focused is understanding the needs around you.
reFOCUS takes the traditional community needs assessment process developed by social workers and community agencies and converts it for a team of church based volunteers. The books’ eight step process takes the church through the exploration, relationship building and listening process that results in a clear understanding of critical needs of the community and the ability of the church to create a community ministry focus that lines up its own gifts and calling with the critical needs around the church.
