July 10, 2026Hello, Transformation Church Family!
I hope you had an amazing Independence Day weekend! This past Sunday we took a deep dive into Ephesians chapter 1. I encouraged everyone to memorize this acronym, BCLPARFLISMS. I know it sounds straight out of Dr. Suess, but it is straight out of the Word of God, written for you. In Christ, we are Blessed, Chosen, Loved, Predestined, Adopted, Redeemed, Forgiven, Lavished with Grace, Included, Saved, Marked, and Sealed! Wow what an incredible God we serve, and what incredible promises He has spoken over us!
SUNDAY MORNING POTLUCK BREAKFAST
This Sunday morning, July 19th, come hungry for some food and fellowship! We will share a meal together starting at 10:00, followed by a short time of worship and the Word. God designed the church to be family, so come expectant to meet someone new, make a new friend, and grow together with your church family. [Sign up to bring something]
SUNDAY WORSHIP AT THE OMA
Due to summer maintenance at the middle school, we will meet at the Ottawa Memorial Auditorium for one weekend only, Sunday, July 26th. The OMA is at 3rd and Hickory. Church will start at 10:00 and we will be ready for you!
Let's join together in prayer for our church building construction. We can ask God to move, to open doors, to expedite the process, and to bless the workers and the work. Let's also lean into Him and ask Him to do all He desires to do in us, while we walk through this unique season as a church!
Transformation Church, Alisa and I love getting to be a part of your lives. We love it that God has asked us to shepherd this church, and to bring the hope of Christ to this community! In other words, we love you very much! Have a great week!

Wow, what a Sunday morning we just had! If you missed it, well, you missed it! The power went out less than ten minutes into the service, but that did not stop us from worshipping the King! It filled my heart with so much joy hearing you all continue to sing praise to the Lord in a dimly lit auditorium, with no sound system. The Lord is worthy of our praise, all the time!

Galatians 2:20 says, "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

June 5, 2026Hello Transformation Church Family,
I'm excited to jump into a new series that we will be in for most of the summer called "Letters". We will be doing a study of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. These are all letters written by Paul to local churches, and most of them written while he was in prison. Galatians 2:20 says, "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me". What a powerful promise we get to walk in!
We can't wait to see you this Sunday for church, at 10:00 am, in the Ottawa Middle School, located at 13th and Ash St. Come and worship with us!

Our one day VBS is this Sunday, June 7th at 3:00 pm, at our church building, located at 3085 Marshall Rd. This is going to be a super fun time for both kids and parents as we inspire both to follow Jesus, build our lives on Him, and love Him with all our hearts! Parents, this will be a great experience for your kids that will encourage them and help them see how much the Lord loves them!
Summer Discipleship
Join us this Wednesday at 6:30, at our church building, for our discipleship class. You will be equipped, inspired, and will find fresh revelation in the Word as we are growing together, Learning to be His Disciples.
UPDATE May 27, 2026Hello Transformation Family,
I am praying for the Lord's great love to fill your heart and mind this week in such powerful ways that your life is being shaped by it. He loves you so much, and He enjoys you! Here are a few things that are coming up we want to make sure you know about.
YOUTH FUNDRAISER DESSERT AUCTION
This Sunday night at 5:00, at our church building at 3085 Marshall Rd, we will be serving hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and drinks so come hungry! Also, we would love for you to bake or make your favorite dessert to donate for the auction. Whether you have $5 or $500, or any amount in between, you have a chance to go home as the winner of an amazing dessert! All the money raised will go toward scholarships for our youth camp, as well as other youth activities throughout the year. Please help us prepare by signing up.
VBS - WONDER JUNCTION
This year VBS will be one day only, Sunday afternoon June 7th from 3:00 - 6:00, due to the limitations of our building. Our goal is to help every one of our kids know that God loves them so much, He wants to walk with them and have relationship with them, and that He has amazing plans for their lives! This year's VBS is going to be family style where parents are invited to join us for the 3 hour event. At the end, we are going to celebrate God's goodness with dinner and sno cones from the Snow Shack! Be sure to register!
SUMMER DISCIPLESHIP
If you want to grow stronger in your relationship with the Lord, grow more connected with your church family, and develop a deeper hunger for the Word of God, this class is for you. On Wednesday nights, starting June 3rd, we will meet at our church building (3085 Marshall Rd) for a deeper dive into the bible to discover God's plan for us as His disciples, and how to live out that plan in our daily lives. We would love for you to join us. Sign up today!
BUILDING UPDATE
As much as we all want to be back in our church building, it is going to take longer than we hope. There are no drawings of the building filed with the county, so an architect is having to make them. This is setting the construction timeline back. In the meantime, we have our temporary occupancy so I am in my office throughout the week, and we are able to use the sanctuary for other church related activities. We will continue to meet at the Ottawa Middle School on Sunday mornings for worship throughout the summer. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Alisa and I are so grateful for each of you. In this time of church building uncertainty, we have the very clear certainty of God's promises, and that is what we will build our lives, and God's church on. Because of Jesus, we are more than conquerors!
Be Transformed, Live Transformed,

May 16, 2026Hello Transformation Church,
Church this Sunday will be so fun as we honor our high school seniors and pray blessing over them as they move into the next season of life. We hope you can join us in the Ottawa Middle School at 10 am.
YOUTH DESSERT AUCTION FUNDRAISER
We are changing the date for the dessert auction! This awesome event is going to take place Sunday, May 31st, at 5:00 pm, at our church building on Marshall Rd. Come for hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and drinks, and bring your favorite dessert to donate for auction. All money raised will go to provide youth camp scholarships, as well as help our teens with other activities throughout the year.
SUMMER VBS
Our VBS this summer is going to be very different due to the limitations of our building, but no less awesome! It is going to be held for one day only, Sunday , June 7th, from 3:00 - 6:00 pm. We are doing it family style so we are inviting all parents to stay and join us! We will have dinner provided for everybody at the end of the evening as well as the Sno Shack flavored ice for everyone! VBS is a great opportunity to help our kids grow in their relationship with Jesus and learn how to live a life of transformative faith in God. Our theme verse for this year is Psalm 113:3, From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised!
We hope you have an amazing day and we look forward to worshipping with you Sunday morning!
Pastor Gregg and Alisa
May 1, 2026Services will be held at the Ottawa Middle School every Sunday morning at 10 am until our building construction is complete.
We now have our Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, so our sanctuary is available for mid-week gatherings!
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them"- Matthew 18:20 (NIV)
April 22, 2026Transformation Church Family,
Sunday, April 26, we are going to continue to celebrate the goodness of God as we worship together at
Ottawa Middle School
13th and Ash St.
As always, church will start at 10 am.
This will likely be our temporary home for a while, while our church building gets repaired. We will update you as soon as possible if anything changes, but we will probably be in the Middle school for several months.
We are working on finding a good spot for mid week discipleship, and for our youth gatherings on Sunday nights. As soon as we know, we will get that information to you.
This means we are once again a mobile church. Will you pray and consider being a part of our set up, and or tear down teams? This trial creates some great opportunities for us to all dive in, play a significant part in our church family, serving the Lord and each other, and modeling for the community that though hardships come, we can rise above and grow stronger through faith and commitment to Christ and each other.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. [Romans 8:28]
If you have any questions or need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to us! We are so blessed to be church family together with you!

April 15, 2026Transformation Church Family,
As you know the building is broken (and the rebuild is already underway) but the church is standing strong. We are the church! Together we are the body of Christ!
Here are some important updates:
We are having church this Sunday, April 19, 2026, at the Ottawa Memorial Auditorium! The OMA is located at 301 S. Hickory, which sits one block east of Main Street. Church will start at 10 am. There is some parking along the streets, and a parking lot on the east side of the building.
Parents with kids, allow yourself a little extra time for kid's check in. Our kid's ministry will be meeting downstairs. We will have people and signs to direct you once you arrive. Kids ministry will be available for ages 0- 4th grade .
This location will be short term, and we will update you as soon as we have details for future dates.
For those of you wanting to help with cleaning up at our church building, there has not been much for us to do as of yet. Insurance mandates professional crews for most of what is taking place inside the building. We will keep you posted as needs arise!
Come early this Sunday for some coffee, fellowship, and a donut! We are going to celebrate the goodness of God!
If you need to reach us for anything please reach out! Send and email to: info@transformationchurch.cc
The Lord is at work in our midst! These challenges, if we meet them with faith and gratitude, will only make us stronger! Our response of faith and trust will open doors for God to move and provide for us in miraculous ways! Alisa and I truly can't wait to see you all and celebrate together as a church family! See you Sunday!
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Update from Pastor Gregg and Alisa
Transformation Church Family! As you know our building got hit pretty hard Monday, April 13th in the storm. The building is broken but the church is standing strong! There are many details that we still do not yet know. So stay tuned and we will communicate as soon as we know. Here are a couple things to know for now:
1. We will have church this weekend! We are going to gather and worship and give God praise because He is good and circumstances do not change this eternal truth!
2. We will not meet at our location on Marshall Rd. We still don't know yet where we will have church, but as soon as we know we will let you know.
3. Many of you have asked how you can help with clean up (because you are awesome!) We have to let the insurance company do their inspection and assessment before we can begin doing any work ourselves. So again, as soon as we are able to begin doing some clean up we will let you know.
4. If you need anything please reach out to us! We are here to serve and help!
5. In the meantime, let's look for ways we can serve the community. There are families and homes that were impacted, and if we reach out we can find someone to help. Let's be proactive to serve our neighbors. Remember, when the church serves the community, and asks for nothing in return, we make Jesus look really good!
The Lord is with us! In every instance in the scriptures, when God's people respond to life's challenges with faith, gratitude, and expectancy, God moves in mighty ways! We are family! And He will lead us through this challenge! Alisa and I love getting to be church family with you all!
“The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of the Lord stands eternal. “ Isaiah 40:8
