Our Mission & Core Values: At Transformation Zone we have 5 core values that fulfill our mission. 

• Radical discipleship – creating an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ that spills over into every aspect of life.

• Inspiring servant leaders – shaping lives to actively love our neighbors as ourselves

• Building relationships – unifying people of diverse backgrounds to strengthen God’s kingdom

• Serving others – understanding it’s not about us and becoming a world changer with God’s heart for His people

• Experiencing God – finding God through worship, fellowship, and service

Churches: Each church participating required to provide transportation for all their participants, have adult leadership (21+) that have been background checked / Safe Sanctuary training. You will need to both males and female adults to help lead crew(s). There will be a Church Group Form sent out after the church registers. We intentionally mix up crews with other churches to create an atmosphere of teamwork and serving with others.

Half-day Wednesday: For full-week participants, we go to Zoombezi Bay after lunch to have fun and build relationships between the churches. After the time at the park, each church is responsible for their participants, dinner, and will be able to stay at the Zoo or go hang out somewhere in Columbus until that evening. Dinner is on the individual or church.

Service Projects: Our projects are teamed up with organizations and churches in the greater Columbus areas of Union, Franklin, and Madison counties. All programmed activities and supplies are included the in price of trip except for gas reimbursement.

1. What should I do after I register my church online?

You will register your church group first by April 15th. Then give out the website for your participants to register on or after May 1st at 8pm.  If you have any questions about the registration process, email Mark at mark@ourcornerstone.org.

2. What should I expect the week to look like?

Transformation Zone is a unique mission trip because students get the opportunity to learn about so many ministries in the Central Ohio area. You will be assigned to a work crew with some people from your church and some people from other churches. You will travel to your work site together and spend the day doing ministry together. In the evening, you will get plenty of chances to hang out with your friends but you will also get the opportunity to worship and learn more about God and his desires for us. Basically, you’re in for an awesome week! Check out our typical daily schedule here.

3. Where are we staying?

Everyone sleeps at Cornerstone Church during the week. The facility has showers on site (we recommend them after a hard day of ministry!). The rooms have lots of outlets and air conditioning, so feel free to bring an air mattress or camping mat.

4. What ministries do we work with?

We partner with a number of ministries through the Central Ohio area, and each year we find new sites while maintaining relationships with a number of sites from the past.  Some of our previous sites included:

Lifeline Christian Mission, puppet ministry, serving meals to homeless in Franklin County, Cannan Mobile Home Park, Mid-Ohio Food Bank, the Bed Brigade (building beds for families in need), DNA of Plain City, Lifeline, VBS at local churches, the Hope Center, and much more. We are currently working on who we will be partnering with this year!
