Host Churches

Churches reach out to their immediate communities by partnering with Project Transformation to host programs for children.  Church development that happens in partnership with Project Transformation is multidimensional and interdisciplinary. Through this partnership, host churches are empowered to better cultivate two key traits of discipleship: radical hospitality and active listening.  First and foremost, church members and staff are able to display radical hospitality as they greet children, lead bible lessons during programming each week, invite parents to worship and plan and attend Family Fun Night events with the young adults. Beyond this, the host church also enters, with more resources, a relationship of active listening in order to better learn and understand the community’s needs and assets.

In our inaugural summer, PT Arkansas had two host churches, St. Luke UMC and Lakeside UMC both in Pine Bluff.

In the summer of 2023, we will have 2 site locations.

If you are interested in hosting our program in the future you can download an application to be a host church or contact Sam Meadors to learn more.
