What is Congregational Transformation? Transformation is the intentional spiritual journey that a congregation undertakes systemically in order to realize what God has called it to be as church and to do in mission in today’s world. This journey is spiritual because transformation is the work of God. It is about listening to God, deepening our relationship with God, and acting upon what we discern is God’s will. It is systemic because it is about everything a congregation is and does, not just one aspect of its program. It is connected denominationally and to the whole church. This is a strategic journey because it addresses change in an intentional process of action steps. Since communities of faith are an integral part of the entire web of God’s ecology, the transformation of congregations is a piece of God’s transformation of all creation, addressing the pressing needs for stewardship of the world. Transformation is a continuous process. One cannot point to a finally transformed congregation, but we can all be on the way. The journey is our home. |
