Focus Church – East Raleigh Campus

Focus Church’s East Raleigh campus is an Assemblies of God congregation on Destiny Drive, and it is built around families. Sunday gatherings center on worship music and preaching, and the church traces its own start to one small gathering.

Focus runs other campuses as well, including ones in Garner and Sanford, and the pastors leading them came to ministry by different routes. Several lead as married couples with children of their own. What ties the church together is a stated aim of seeing lives changed through Christ.
