Project Transformation

Project Transformation is a ministry to connect young energy and leadership, the Oklahoma Conference churches and institutions, and urban congregations in a meaningful program by providing dedicated summer interns to urban churches.

This program is a great opportunity for college students to explore the diverse opportunities for lay and ordained ministry. Project Transformation was established in Dallas, Texas in 1998. In 2002 Project Transformation expanded to Oklahoma City holding summer day camps at three urban church sites. In 2003, Oklahoma Project Transformation expanded to four sites.

Mission:
To meet the evolving urban needs of ministry in the United Methodist Church by utilizing the energy, leadership, and support of our college students, United Methodist institutions, and United Methodist churches.

The goals of Project Transformation are to:

• Aid culturally diverse churches and communities with creative programming that will support spiritual growth for children, youth, and their families.
• Build relationships and models for on-going volunteer ministries.
• Support college students in their faith journey by providing a summer mission experience and an introduction into ministry.
