The researcher sought to transform a large White, affluent, local congregation into being active in community outreach at a United Methodist Church in Englewood, FL. A course in spiritual gifts and other lay and clergy-led initiatives were presented. Significant members of community were invited to participate in study and address membership. Written surveys, questionnaires, small group discussions, and observations, were used to collect data. The outcome shows that while changes are slow, an understanding of the dynamics leading to change was deemed critical, and pointed to paradigm shift in the church's identity.
