Personal & City Transformation
...turning dreams into reality
about us
Transform This City is a registered 501(C)(3) non-profit organization committed to a single goal: to make vibrant cities full of caring people who live happy, productive lives.
We achieve this goal as a non-profit organization by equipping and mentoring volunteers to help those in need overcome the challenges of life, while developing meaningful relationships with both those who serve and those who are served, and through the use of the powerful digital realm of websites, podcasts, YouTube video programming, and social media. Never in the history of the world has it been possible to broadcast across the globe for almost free!
We believe that transformed cities happen as a result of the work of God through the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Jesus declared his mission statement on the day he launched his public ministry...He put the people on notice. He read from the scroll of Isaiah 61 these words found in Luke 4. The passage he read was the famous Old Testament passage known as The Year of Jubilee. The fascinating thing is, after he read the verses, he rolled up the scroll, sat down, and told the people that TODAY this has been fulfilled in your hearing! Past tense!
Our efforts carry with them the power of God, because Jesus already has secured the victory! So- what we do as we serve hurting people is done with great optimism for real change!
