Innovation | The Great 8 (Transformation Church)

Main message: The church prioritizes innovation—using new methods and technologies to expand gospel reach and disciple people—while keeping the message of Christ unchanged; innovation is framed as obedience to the Great Commission, not mere trend-following.

Key points:

• Innovation means going first, taking creative risks (short of sin) to reach people far from Christ.
• Methods can change even as the message stays the same; embrace platforms like TikTok, Twitch, podcasts, and film.
• Invest in excellent production and teams to maximize impact (pastor’s 2015 camera purchase led to global reach by 2018).
• Innovation is obedience to Jesus’ commission and a tool for fulfilling responsibilities to families, communities, and our callings.
• Everyone is called to ministry—practical action: intentionally innovate who, how, and where you invite others to Jesus.

Scriptures mentioned: Matthew 28:19-20
