RELATIONAL TRANSFORMATION
In our face-paced world - life is becoming isolated and lonely for so many today. Real personal relationships are being set aside for those on social media. Many Christians state that they no longer feel close with neighbors, co-workers, family members, or even those within their own church community.
Transformed is a place of encouragement where you will meet others who also want to learn how to think better, feel better, and live better with the transformative power of faith. The Word of God tells us over and over that we should be with "One Another". The benefits of joining a Christian Community that is built around encouragement, grace and truth, faith, and togetherness is one of God's greatest gifts to His children.
Transformed strives to be that special place of belonging, acceptance, understanding, and encouragement that is balanced with the truths found within the Word of God. We hope that you will come as you are - while being drawn closer to the image of Jesus Christ!
"Wherefore comfort yourselves together,
and edify one another..."
1 Thessalonians 5:11
SPECIAL NOTE: Your Comfort is Our Priority!
When you join a Transformed Group we want you to know that your comfort is important to us. We understand that God made each one of us with unique temperaments and relational needs. Some people crave fellowship where they are able to talk openly in group settings while others prefer to participate quietly. For this reason, we do not pressure anyone to share or to answer questions unless they make the choice to do so on their own. We also do not use "Ice-Breaker" games as we know they can be very intimidating for some, especially in unfamiliar settings. We want you to be able to enjoy our time together in whatever way is most relaxing for you.
We sincerely hope that our caring environment will become a place of comfort where you will have the opportunity to make new friends while offering and receiving encouragement spiritually and emotionally!
SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION
Many Christians have hearts and minds containing doubts and fears about who God is and how He really feels about them. This often occurs because although we have been taught that God is faithful, loving, and kind – the discouragements that we have experienced often lead us to believe that He may be distant, untrustworthy, and unjust instead.
This confusion about God causes deep unresolved questions to develop about Him such as, “If God really exists, then why is there so much pain and suffering in the world?”, “If He really cares, then why didn’t He do something to protect me?” or “If God is supposed to be fair then why is my offender’s life flourishing while I am still suffering the consequences of their actions?”
When your perspective about God has been corrected your trust and faith grows allowing Him to become your intimate friend, your dependable counselor, your Lord of Lords, and the one you desire to worship. This relationship with the Lord becomes a new foundation bringing the hope, joy, and peace that is able to transform your entire life.
EMOTIONAL TRANSFORMATION
The Word of God tells us in John 14:27; “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” This verse clearly emphasizes the fact that we must learn to take control of our emotions instead of our emotions controlling us.
Emotional transformation begins while learning about the seven inner needs of your inner man; forgiveness, love, acceptance, significance, security, purpose, and worship. When these inner needs are not filled with the love of Jesus Christ - feelings of inner shame, loneliness, rejection, being "less-than", insecurity, worthlessness & failure, and superiority or inferiority often overtake our hearts and minds.
When you develop the proper perspective about who God is and who you are because of who He is your own self-worth, your purpose, and your relationships completely transform as they are built upon a solid foundation of truth.
