Our Vision for 2026
Transformed from the Inside Out
As Grace City Tampa, we will prioritize holistic transformation. Our goal is for every person to not only know about a transformed life but to actively live one out in their daily walk with Jesus.
Mind & Heart
The Inside
Our transformation begins with the renewal of our minds and the redirection of our hearts toward God. This is the foundation from which all other change flows.
Life & Action
The Out
When our minds and hearts are transformed, it naturally leads to a changed life—our actions, relationships, and priorities begin to align with God's will.
The word transformed in Romans 12:2 is the Greek word metamorphoo, from which we get "metamorphosis." It signifies a complete change in nature, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
This transformation is not a quick fix but an ongoing process that touches every area of our being.
Our Strategy
Five Pillars of Transformation
Each pillar will have a sermon series that coincides with these areas of growth.
Spiritually
Transformed
The foundation of a transformed life is our relationship with Christ, and our stewardship of resources is a direct reflection of our trust in Him.
Focus Areas
Mentally
Transformed
This pillar addresses the 'renewal of the mind.' It's about finding freedom from anxiety, fear, and past hurts by applying biblical truth.
Focus Areas
Emotionally
Transformed
This pillar addresses the core of our hearts and feelings, focusing on healing and health in our relationships with others and ourselves.
Focus Areas
Relationally
Transformed
This pillar focuses on our relationships with others, recognizing that a transformed life is lived in community.
Focus Areas
Physically
Transformed
This pillar acknowledges that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that our physical health is part of our spiritual journey.

Key Scriptures
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
"Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
