Voice a biblical theology of sexuality, relationships, and spiritual family as good gifts from God.

HOLY SEXUALITY

Transform Minnesota believes that the starting point for understanding human sexuality and gender is to recognize that all people are created in the image of God–we are all made for community as brothers and sisters in the family of God.

Holy sexuality creates space for the connection and belonging of every person within God’s family–male and female, single and married. Jesus’s marriage to his bride, the Church, establishes the biblical vision for both marriage and singleness.

Every person experiences barriers to finding flourishing regarding gender, sexuality, and relationships—yet the hurt, brokenness, and sin that we experience do not destroy these good gifts. With our sights set on redemption, we promote healthy relationships within God’s family, so every person can find hope, healing, and belonging together through Jesus.

“I believe it is crucial for followers of Christ to seek understanding on challenging and multifaceted topics. Transform Minnesota’s Holy Sexuality events have provided much needed clarity through speakers, panel discussions, and thoughtful small group dialogue. I have benefitted – both personally and professionally – from attending with colleagues. Our processing has extended well past the events resulting in rich conversations and ultimately, in serving others with more compassion while maintaining a traditional, biblical sexual ethic.”

Nina Barnes

Transform Minnesota Board Member

“The evangelical church’s silence on issues of sexuality and gender has left a vacuum that has been filled either by fear or the voice of the secular culture. In reality, we should be leading the conversation if we really believe what we purport to believe. Transform MN is taking on that challenge and doing so in a way that is compassionate, courageous, and biblically grounded which is something that is desperately needed both within the church and in the world.”

“Transform MN has always hit the nail on the head, especially on the topic of holy sexuality…I find, as a pastor, I need regular equipping and encouragement and clarity on this topic, since it is surrounded by such a cloud of confusion and discouragement in our culture (and within the church).”
