Our Mission
Transforming Congregations is committed to provide information, resources,
and training to churches, districts and annual conferences in understanding
and involvement in a ministry of transformation of homosexuals, and also to
encourage transforming ministry based on loving compassion, scripture, and
The Discipline of the United Methodist Church.
Transforming Ministries seeks to:
AFFIRM the Biblical witness that homosexual practice is sin and that
the power of the Holy Spirit is available to transform the life of the homosexual.
MINISTER
to persons struggling with homosexuality, their families,
and all others affected by homosexuality as partners in Christ's work of healing.
CALL
the church to recognize its need for repentance and healing
of its homophobic and accommodating responses.
INTEGRATE
all persons striving to live as faithful disciples of
Jesus Christ into full membership in the local church.
