The Transforming Center has established an exciting partnership with the Richmont Graduate University, located on campuses in Atlanta and Chattanooga, Tennessee. The partnership is aligned with the Transforming Center’s mission to create space for God to strengthen leaders and transform communities. Richmont\u2019s School of Ministry prepares men and women to fulfill God\u2019s call to transformational ministry. Together, we are set to continue to equip more Christ-like leaders for God\u2019s Kingdom.<\/p>\n

This new partnership allows those participating in a Transforming Community<\/em> experience to earn academic credit. Specifically, Richmont is providing 12 credits of Advanced Standing in our Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Direction<\/a> degree to those who complete the Transforming Community<\/em><\/a> experience. The relationship between Richmont and the Transforming Center is especially centered on our innovative cohort model of accredited training in the ministry of Spiritual Direction.<\/p>\n

Dr. David Hughes, Ambassador of the Transforming Center states, \u201cWe\u2019re very excited to partner with the Richmont Graduate University to provide next steps for those who are being called into pastoral leadership in the area of spiritual formation and\/or the ministry of spiritual direction. This agreement represents a new partnership we believe will bear much fruit in the lives of leaders in Christ\u2019s kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students can begin receiving academic credit effective in the spring semester of 2021.
