Mission Statement

The mission of the Turning Fellowship is to advance biblical scholarship, theological formation, and leadership development by educating, equipping, empowering, engaging, and endorsing Christian leaders for faithful service, ethical governance, and transformative impact within the Church and the broader society.

​

We exist to cultivate leaders whose intellectual depth, spiritual maturity, and ministerial competence enable them to steward sacred responsibility with wisdom, humility, and courage—turning conviction into practice and theology into lived witness.

 

Vision Statement

Our vision is to be a distinguished academic and theological leadership fellowship that shapes leaders who think critically, serve faithfully, and lead courageously rooted in Scripture, informed by theology, and responsive to the complexities of contemporary ministry and public life.

​

Turning Fellowship envisions a global community of leaders who:

• Integrate scholarly excellence with spiritual formation

• Lead with clarity, character, and covenant accountability

• Engage culture with biblical intelligence and prophetic discernment

• ​

• Advance the Church’s witness through education, chaplaincy, governance, and public service

We envision leaders whose preparation is both academic and apostolic, capable of turning the world upside down not through volume, but through depth, integrity, and faithful presence. (Acts 17:6)

 

 

CHOOSING TO TURN WITH THE TURNING FELLOWSHIP

Senior Leaders are faced with many choices to make in a split second! Life and the vocation of ministerial leadership flood our inbox, blow up our phones and surprise us with a variety of meaningful and meaningless choices that have an immediate impact on those you influence.

​

Why choose to turn with the TURNING FELLOWSHIP?

​

Admittedly, there are several reformations, denominations, and fellowships (which are disguised denominations) that seek your participation and support for the sake of supposedly improving your opportunity to do better what you do best.

​

Honestly speaking, we all belong somewhere!  The historicity of the evolving Church modeled in chapter two of the Acts of the Apostles highlights the necessity of a communal believing community that continued, in the apostles’ doctrine, prayers, fellowship, and sacrament frequently.  Many mainline denominations, trendy organizations, small pop-up fellowships, and renegade leaders have attempted to define themselves by their defiance, individuality, and, in some cases, theological mandates to separate. 

​

The Turning Fellowship is a theological ecumenical fellowship that builds leaders to impact the church, ministries, or businesses to transform neighborhoods, communities, and nations.   Turning Fellowship nuances its ministry space with the distinction of being “glocal”, the art of ministering locally, yet thinking globally. 

  

Choosing to TURN means you have committed to self-investment through radical fellowship and active participation in order to ignite or reignite your ministry spark, and that of your team, to transform neighborhoods, communities, and to turn the world upside down.
