Transform Burien

Transform Burien Our History:
Local Christian pastors put aside minor theological differences to gather and pray for Burien and each other.

Transform is a Christ-centered outreach ministry designed to help our neighbors in need by providing basic necessities, friendship, encouragement, hope and prayer. During their prayers, Jesus impressed on them to take care of the poor and suffering in practical and tangible ways as a united front of Christian churches in Burien. Now, 24 years later, we are still praying together and working in uni

ty as one church in Burien for those in need. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our Impact:
Transform’s outreach center exists to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through word and action. We host many services that help those experiencing homelessness and poverty to meet their basic needs. In 2023, we served over 16,500 meals in the cafeteria and over 3,000 sack lunches. We provided over 6,200 trips to food bank and 4,700 trips to our clothing bank. Other services include in 2023, but are not limited to, are Tuesday and Fridays bible studies, curbside produce boxes, weekly laundry services, back-to-school supplies, Thanksgiving meal packages, and Christmas gift bags and boxes. Our volunteers donated more than 16,500 hours of their time to make this possible.

Another fabulous Sunday here at Transform last weekend! ❤️

Our friends from Highline Christian Church showed up with an amazing group of people who were flexible, willing, and ready to help wherever needed. 🙌 Because of that, they loved well, served well, and met every person with compassion and care. 🫶

We serve a very special community, many of whom we see every single week. Our prayer is that each person who walks through our doors experiences love, dignity, and true community here at Transform. ❤️

Thank you to Highline Christian Church and to everyone who pours out their lives to serve others here. You are making a difference! ✨

🍕 A HUGE thank you to the amazing group from John Knox Presbyterian Church Seattle who joined us this last Sunday at Transform! They were absolute pizza-making machines, and our guests loved it so much they kept coming back for more! 😄🍕

We are so thankful for the many ways John Knox continues to bless Transform throughout the year. From serving wonderful meals, to food drives, clothing donations, encouragement, love, and so much more. Their care for our community is truly a blessing. ❤️

Because our guests were so well fed, our other departments were able to serve record numbers this Sunday as well! What an incredible reminder of how working together helps us care for the unhoused, low and fixed income individuals, and struggling families in our community.

Thank you, John Knox, for being such an important part of the Transform family! 🙌

If you would like to learn how you can support Transform’s work in the community, please contact us through our website or by email. We would love to connect with you!

🥫❤️ We are incredibly grateful to Glen Acres Church of Christ for blessing Transform with a wonderful food drive!

Every item donated will go directly to support the families in our community who visit our food bank. During a time when so many are struggling, gifts like these make a real and meaningful difference for our unhoused neighbors, low- and fixed-income households, and families facing hardship.

The generosity shown through this food drive is just one more example of how Glen Acres faithfully serves and cares for the people in our area. We are incredibly thankful for your partnership, compassion, and heart for the community. 🙌

The dedication of those who faithfully make our services possible week after week is truly heartwarming and such a blessing to our Transform family and guests. Your kindness, servant hearts, and willingness to show up for our community make a lasting impact. ❤️

Thank you for being awesome, for loving people well, and for helping make Transform a place of hope, dignity, and connection. We are so grateful for each and every one of you! 🙌✨

❤️🤍 Sharing our gratitude for these middle school students at Seattle Christian School's community service class for serving with us at Transform through the winter and spring term! 🙌🏼

These amazing students have learned how to be the hands and feet of our community; showing food, helping with projects, cleaning, and blessing us with their servant attitudes. 🥫🧹♥️

Last Friday, they went above and beyond by joining our volunteers to serve the Friday meal to our guests. Each student brought joy, kindness, and care as they welcomed everyone. ☺️🫶🏼

We are so proud of their willingness to step out into the community and make a real difference in their lives and in the lives of others! Our future is brighter because of young people like these. 😎

Thank you for your hard work and your growing compassion! 🥰
