The Four Areas of Focus Report

When the 2008 General Conference embraced the Four Areas of Focus as the centerpiece of the Church’s ministries, the decision set in motion a movement of change. The Four Areas of Focus present The United Methodist Church with an unprecedented opportunity to unify our witness and to embody our heritage as an authentic Christian movement.

This report is an update of the work of boards and agencies around the Four Areas of Focus, and it shows how the boards and agencies fit into a collective picture of The United Methodist Church of the 21st century.
