Transforming Community
"My participation in the Transforming Community has been deeply replenishing. Each of the retreats has been outstanding, ushering me into intense experiences of solitude and community. I always leave feeling my thirsty soul has been rejuvenated."
—David Hughes, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
"Thank you for providing such a wonderful ministry to those who serve in the body of Christ in pastoral roles. You are truly doing things...and saying things...that I hear from no other place in the evangelical community."
—Mark Werner, Pastor, Meadowbrook Church, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
"The Transforming Community retreats are just what I was looking for—carefully crafted retreats that integrate spiritual disciplines, community and leadership. If you are a leader who is hungry for God and searching for integration between your spirituality and your leadership, this experience is made to order.”
—Barney Ford, Vice President, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
"My involvement in the Transforming Community has been a humbling and joyful journey. I have discovered a rhythm of disciplines and regular practices that will sustain my soul for the long-haul of ministry."
—Gregg DeMey, Teaching Pastor, Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, Elmhurst, Illinois
"Ministry had taken a toll on me, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I was contemplating leaving ministry. God brought the Transforming Community into my life at just the right moment. I am not sure if I would still be in ministry today, if I had not experienced God’s transforming power in my heart and soul!" "The small group component was important because I was able to know and be known at a much deeper level." —Sr. Pastor, Baptist Church
"After attending the Transforming Community, I have more confidence in God’s presence in my journey and in my ministry role. During the two years, I became aware of a spiritual tiredness within me. Through the Community, I have been revived in strength and supported by God and others on my journey.
I’m spiritually healthier. I’m more authentic with God and others. I am experiencing God’s peace more through fixed hour prayers and my breath prayer. I’m reading Scripture slower and really soaking it in. I’m now enjoying a real community of friends in fresh new ways. And I’m resting more! All the retreats were excellent and brought clarity and healing." —Worship Pastor, Alabama
