TRANSFORMATION MINISTRIES
VISION, MISSION AND CORE VALUES

Vision
What we see or want to see in the future. God’s preferred future picture of the Ministry; the next horizon toward which God is leading the Ministry.

We envision a God-empowered movement of churches:
• every pastor growing
• every church healthy
• every community transformed for Christ.

Mission
The reason the Ministry exists; a clear and concise statement of what the Ministry is to accomplish; mission forms the decision-grid from which we say “yes” or “no” to proposed actions.

Transformation Ministries exists to build a movement of mission-empowering relationships by:
• deepening and developing pastors as spiritual leaders
• coaching and networking churches toward greater health and missional vitality
• supporting and initiating viable church planting partnerships.

Core Values
Key foundational and non-negotiable beliefs and/or principles that undergird the ministry; the soil from which the ministry’s Vision, Mission, and ministries grow.

Biblical Authority
Because we believe Scripture is God’s infallible word, it is the supreme authority for Christ- followers and the Church.

God-Dependent
Because we believe Scripture teaches that apart from God we can do nothing, we are a people of prayer, obedience, faith and risk.

Mission of God
Because we believe salvation is found only in Jesus Christ, we are committed through word and deed to see all lost people come to Christ and grow into His fully devoted followers, and to multiply missional congregations.

Mission-Empowering Relationships
Because we believe God is a relational being who created humanity in His image, and because the Scriptures call churches to interdependent relationships to most effectively carry out God’s mission, we value building relationships both between pastors and between congregations.

Church as a Mosaic
Because we believe all men and women are made in the image and likeness of God, we embrace and celebrate the multiplicity of generations, ethnic backgrounds, and cultural expressions within the body of Christ modeling reconciliation to the world.

Generation to Generation
Because we believe each generation needs new life in Christ, we value the development of a new generation of leaders, and ministries that reach and serve next generations.

Spiritual Leadership
Because we believe Scripture places critical importance on the quality of leadership, we seek and equip leaders called by God, sanctified and gifted by the Holy Spirit who serve in various capacities and guide the Church in fulfilling His purpose.
