Transforming Prayer is a process designed to help you identify core beliefs about yourself and/or God that are disrupting your walk with Christ and having a negative impact on your relationships. The goal is mind renewal and transformation, which is accomplished as we connect with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to bring truth to counter the lies we believe.

Transforming Prayer is not counseling/therapy, a deliverance ministry, or pain management. It is a discipleship ministry tool that helps us cooperate with God as he refines our faith, renews our minds and transforms our lives.

Transformation Prayer ministry is for:

• People who are hurting and need help now
• People who are intentionally pursuing personal, spiritual growth
• People who want to learn it to help disciple others

We use a ministry model that helps us know what questions to ask as we walk with someone through this process. Watch the introductory session with Dr. Ed Smith.

Additional Discipleship Opportunities

• We highly recommend the books, articles, and videos available online for self-study.
• We have a 13-week training course for those interested in learning how to offer this ministry to others as a mentor.

Onsite Studies

Please join us for one of our Women’s Bible Studies. The study itself is free, but you cover the cost of your materials. You will receive a link in the confirmation email to order the book from. We have a few different study options for you to choose from listed below.

Offsite Groups

We have ongoing women’s life groups meeting offsite in homes and coffee shops throughout our communities. There are several studies and opportunities to meet women and build authentic relationships. Email women@oakpointe.org and we’ll help you find the one just right for you!

We understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and that’s why ReNew offers a range of resources and programs tailored to meet you where you are. Whether you’re grappling with personal issues, seeking deeper spiritual growth, or in need of healing, ReNew is here to help.

Grief Share

A hope-filled group for grieving adults designed to assist healing after the devastating loss of a loved one. It’s a safe place for you to share your story and experience the relief of knowing you are not alone.

DivorceCare

A Christ-centered divorce support group for men and women who are separated or divorced. Come and share; take some steps forward and start living again.

E511

A Bible-based men’s sexual addiction recovery program whose goals are to reveal the harmful effects of pornography and sexual addictions, rescue those who are struggling in those areas, and restore men to a life of peace, purpose, and passion.

Her Story

A support group for women who have experienced betrayal through adultery, pornography, or the sexual addiction of a spouse or partner. Grieve, trust, forgive, and find hope again.

Transforming Prayer Group

A group that provides both individual sessions and group training to support believers to be intentional about pursuing help from God in reframing wrong beliefs and self-serving motivations that tend to influence us to choose something other than God to manage our emotional pain.
