UPDATED 06.27.2020
Hello TransformChurch Family!
It’s hard to believe that we haven’t been able to meet in person for over three months. During this time, we have missed you all and prayed for you often. Even though we’ve been physically apart, we have seen God do new things through TransformChurch Online on Sunday and all the various virtual groups throughout the week. People are saying “YES” to Jesus, faith has been strengthened, Jesus has been lifted up, the presence of the Holy Spirit has been real, and God has used us collectively to meet needs in our church community and in our partner churches throughout the world. The church has never been about a building, and it has been so encouraging to see God continue to work in the midst of this situation.
Now that our county is going “green” and lifting some of the gathering precautions, we are looking at re-opening and beginning to gather again in person. We are doing this in a multi-phase approach:
1) Our plan is to still be online on Sunday mornings through the month of June. This will give us time to finish the renovations at our Ministry Center on 621 Centre Avenue. However, starting June 14th, we have begun to meet in person, and some online, through SMALL GROUPS. We began a Sunday Morning series with a companion study guide for small groups on spiritual warfare called “The Good Fight” based on 1 Timothy 1:18, “This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight.” This is such a crucial time for us to be equipped in spiritual warfare and know how to face the many challenges in our world. Get involved in one of our TransformGroups by signing up on our website for an in person or online small group!
2) Our 2nd phase, then, is to meet for public Sunday Morning Church at our newly renovated Ministry Center beginning July 5th, with two opportunities for worship at 9am & 11am. As we anticipate being able to “Welcome You Back Home”, we want to clearly communicate that your safety and the safety of your family are our primary concern. When we reopen, we will hold to prescribed procedures for disinfection, social distancing, and other practical aspects of mitigating the spread of covid-19, including:
- dry cough or sore throat
- shortness of breath
- in contact with anyone confirmed to have Covid-19 in the past 14 days
We love you!

When we reopen, we will hold to prescribed procedures for disinfection, social distancing, and other practical aspects of mitigating the spread of covid-19, including:
- Due to state-wide mandates and to properly care for others, we will utilize face coverings for both our 9am & 11am worship gatherings, with the exception of those with a medical condition and small children 5 and under.
- Our main doors will be propped open for proper ventilation and touchless entry/exit.
- Hand sanitizer stations will be available at all of our entrances.
- Offering kiosks will be used and buckets will no longer be passed between people, as well as all announcements will be digital and no longer in the form of paper hand-outs.
- We will not offer TransformKidz or TransformYouth immediately when we reopen; instead, we will phase the reopening of these ministries in a manner deemed appropriate. The Nursery and Nursing Mother’s Room will be opened for parent’s convenience, but will not be staffed. We will have live feed monitors in each of these rooms.
- We will not offer our van ministry immediately until we feel the time is appropriate.
- Café with coffee and pastries will not be opened initially until we feel the time is appropriate.
- We ask that you join us for TransformChurch Online through Facebook Live or YouTube Live if you have:
- dry cough or sore throat
- shortness of breath
- in contact with anyone confirmed to have Covid-19 in the past 14 days
- For those who are considered at high risk for severe illness from Covid-19, such as age or underlying chronic medical conditions, or anyone who is uncomfortable about health implications, we invite you to join us on Facebook Live or YouTube Live.
We love you!
