Transform:ED is an annual conference on Christian leadership and spiritual formation held at the main campus of Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, MS. It is a unique opportunity to participate in the life-changing dynamics of a Spirit-filled seminary experience.

Since 2009, the Transform:ED conference has played a central role in the life of Wesley Biblical Seminary and its mission to provide a holiness-centered theological education. Through an intense examination of the biblical-theological aspects of Christian holiness, conference participants will be challenged to let the "mind of Christ" transform their practices and persons for the redemption of the world.

Consistent with the seminary's core value of a commitment to life-long learning, the Transform:ED experience is designed for the seminary's students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as Christian leaders, pastors, or laypersons interested in engaging in transformative theological inquiry.

The conference begins at 6:00 PM Tuesday night, October 9 and ends noon on Friday, October 12. All events are free and open to all registrants.

The Transform:ED conference is comprised of various events that together form a cohesive whole. Each day, plenary sessions are followed by formal community interaction sessions, which in turn are followed up by mealtimes and fellowship. This structure intentionally fosters academic inquisition, interpersonal relational formation, and spiritual growth -- all of which is guided by the overarching commitment of the conference to a biblical holiness that addresses the whole human person.

The primary means for formal interaction with the concepts and ideas presented at Transform:ED are the plenary sessions and the subsequent follow-up/reaction times structured according to a three-tier system of interaction. This three-tier system allows conference participants to interact with concepts at various levels and is intended to maximize comprehension, critical analysis, and practical application of ideas.

Wesley Biblical Seminary will issue two (2) continuing education units for conference attendees for a flat fee of $25. CEU forms will be available at the registration table and can be filled out at any time during the conference.
