Helping Churches GROW
our STORY
Meet the Team
The "f" in focus412 is always lowercase. This is intentional, as the role we play is never bigger than the story we are a part of. This is God's Church and we have the privilege to partner with leaders who desire to see His Kingdom come and His will be done.
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
We recognize the unique skills, talent, and experience of each individual. We find incredible value in approaching our partnerships as a team through a unique lens. The focus412 team specializes in Organizational Health, Leadership Development, Executive Coaching, Team Training, and Custom Growth Solutions.
