Leaders Emerge. Communities Change.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Based on a model founded in 1998 in Dallas, Texas, Project Transformation Central Texas launched its first summer program in 2017. The program model is designed to address three unique challenges with one program: 1) how to meet the academic, physical, social-emotional, and spiritual needs of children, 2) how to provide meaningful ways for college-age young adults to explore ministry opportunities and develop as young principled leaders for the church and the world; and 3) how to help churches connect with their communities.<\/p>\n<div class='pullquote green_TEXT'>Our mission is to transform communities by engaging children, college-age young adults, and churches in purposeful relationships.<\/div>\n<p>The Three C&#8217;s: Children \u2013 College-age young adults \u2013 Churches. This is a win-win-win formula, but relationships are at the heart of everything we do. It is through relationships that communities are transformed.<\/p>\n<p>Project Transformation\u2019s collaborative model of ministry harnesses the creative energy and leadership of college-age young adults who live in intentional Christian community and lead summer programs for children. Each week, young adult interns meet with church and nonprofit leaders to explore various ministry-related vocations and spend time discerning their vocational call to life-long service. Programs are held at churches located in neighborhoods that are under-resourced, thereby helping those churches connect with their communities. Dozens of other churches and organizations throughout North Central Texas and the surrounding region partner together to support this work, investing in these young lives with their time and resources.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1761 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/projecttransformation.org\/central-texas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/PT-Tagline-300x191.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"332\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projecttransformation.org\/greater-tarrant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/PT-Tagline-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/projecttransformation.org\/greater-tarrant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/PT-Tagline-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/projecttransformation.org\/greater-tarrant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/PT-Tagline-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/projecttransformation.org\/greater-tarrant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/PT-Tagline-1536x980.png 1536w, https:\/\/projecttransformation.org\/greater-tarrant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/PT-Tagline.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relationships Grow.
