What Is ReFocus?
ReFocus Youth Conference is a Christian youth conference held annually for the students of Marshall County and the surrounding areas. It is sponsored by 412 Youth Group and through generous donations by local businesses and individuals. 412 Youth Group is a community-based youth group, based out of Three Crosses Church and Pleasant Grove Church, open to any student that does not have a youth group to call home.
We all share the same desires; to see students grow in Christ! ReFocus is open to middle and high school students of all denominations and will challenge students to ReFocus their hearts and minds for the life God has intended for them. This event will be held from 5-10pm at Three Crosses Church where your students can look forward to spirit-led worship and word, games and fun, and discussion-based workshops on a variety of relevant topics for students in today's world.
Why ReFocus?
"In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight" ~Proverbs 3:6
With the conference mindfully scheduled right before the beginning of the new school year, it is our hopes and prayers that by bringing area students of all different faiths together, no matter the church or denomination, God can use this conference to encourage students to REFOCUS their lives on Christ, both individually and collectively, as they take the first steps back into the school year.
What To Expect
Below are the four key components of a night at ReFocus Youth. As the conference approaches, all registered youth leaders are sent a full, detailed breakdown of the entire night.

Pizza and Fellowship
We'll start the night off with free food and drinks and a chance for the students to fellowship. Sometimes the students don't realize just how many Christian brothers and sisters they have in other youth groups until they all get together in one place.
Workshops
Students will have a chance to attend two workshops of their choice during ReFocus. Our workshops cover a number of relevant topics pertaining to students today and their Christian walk.
Gatherings
We'll have two big gatherings throughout the night; one at the beginning and one at the end. Gatherings are a time of fun groups games, worship, reflection, and teaching.
Church Connect
Before our last large gathering, students will meet back with their own youth group, giving leaders a chance to spend some quality time with their students discussing what they learned in the workshops, talking about the message during worship, or however they see fit.
ReFocus Highlights
We are blessed to have some amazingly gifted and God-loving servants that will lead us in worship, word, and workshops
WORSHIP
We are excited to have Altar Vue with us at ReFocus again this year.
Altar Vue is traveling from Madisonville, Ky to spend the day with us, bringing high-energy worship and praise through music and song in both our early afternoon and night worship segments.
WORD
Pastor Eric Walker from Bowling Green, KY, will be our keynote speaker for Refocus Youth. Pastor E. truly believes that God is still in the transforming business and that is part of the mission of Refocus Youth. Many of our very own students from 412 Youth Group can attest to this passionate drive from their own experience at Crossings Youth Camp where God spoke vividly through Eric's messages as camp pastor. It is a joy to hear him speak the Word!
WORKSHOPS
From 'Christian Self-Esteem' to 'Missions in Action', ReFocus provides these and other workshops available for students to attend. We have some great leaders ready to teach and lead discussions through their own moving testimonies.
