Vetamorphus is not merely about learning a bunch of facts, or passing, or getting into university - it is an experience of transformation. Beyond just theory, Vetamorphus engages you in a process of action and reflection - where the truths of the Bible are lived in everyday experience and then formed into your character through deep reflection and Godly relationships.

Vetamorphus places you into situations where your heart, your mind, and your imagination can be captured by Christ and then, once captured, transformed by the experience of the radical life you are challenged to live.

The purpose of the course is best summed up as:
"Do not be conformed to... this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." - Romans 12:2
