Established in 1984, FOCUS, Inc. (Fellowship of Christians United in Service) is a non-profit in Hamilton, Georgia which serves the residents of Harris County.  The vision of the founding leaders was to bring together churches from across the county to meet the needs of those suffering from food insecurity and those in need of clothing.  Forty years later, the organization is led by over 100 volunteers representing 30+ churches.  The ministry has grown exponentially and is now serving close to 4,000 families per year.  The organization is led by a board comprised of business leaders, local pastors, and retired professionals. Funding is provided through donations received from churches, individuals, civic organizations, and the sale of items donated to the FOCUS Thrift, Boutique, and Furniture Store.

Statement of Faith

We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who created all things in love and calls all people to reconciliation through Jesus Christ.

​

We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became fully human, lived among us, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead on the third day, and reigns now as Lord. In Him, we find forgiveness, hope, and new life.

​

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who gives life, equips the Church, and empowers us to love and serve in Christ’s name.

​

We believe that all followers of Jesus Christ are spiritually united as one body, called to live out the gospel in love and service

​

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, revealing God’s character, truth, and plan for our salvation. It teaches us how to live faithfully, humbly, and justly in service to others.

 

We affirm our common mission to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. In all we do, we seek to reflect the compassion, humility, and grace of Jesus Christ.

 

In recognition of the God-given dignity of every person, FOCUS serves individuals and families in need without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or background, reflecting Christ’s love in both word and deed.
