Who We Are
A 501(c)(3) non-profit equipping under-resourced pastors across Africa and Asia to shepherd healthy, maturing churches.
The Church Transformation Network (CTN) exists to equip strategic church leaders who are often under-resourced and lack access to formal theological education. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, CTN partners with churches and evangelical alliances across Africa and Asia, regions of rapid church growth and a critical shortage of accessible training, to provide contextually relevant, biblically grounded instruction that grows pastors in life and ministry.
We train strategic pastoral leaders through a practical, self-directed and collaborative approach that promotes godly character, transformative shepherding and intentional discipleship. By prioritizing indigenous ownership, CTN raises up mission-driven leaders who multiply disciple-makers and advance the Great Commission.

OUR PRIORITY
THE CHALLENGE
Answering the challenges facing the Church today
Limited access to spiritual resources
Rapid church growth has outpaced what traditional theological schools can provide.
Lack of depth in theological training
Only about 5% of pastors worldwide have formal training, so over 95% lead without it.
False teaching takes root
Where training is scarce, false teaching and harmful practices fill the gap.
