Why We Exist - Our Purpose

The purpose of The Center For Transformation Studies is to instill in developing leaders the timeless truths of the Kingdom of God and to train them to become catalysts for transformation within their culture

Timeless Kingdom Principles (Core Values)
There is a variety of congregations but one church in any city and we are to love and bless that church

Humility is foundational to unity and growth and is best learned in a context of evangelical diversity

Theology is relational in its understanding and practice. Obeying Christ’s command to love one another is at its core

Recognizing and valuing the unique contribution each race and culture brings to the Body of Christ is necessary for community transformation

Emotionally healthy and spiritually free people are best able to carry out Christ’s command to love one another and advance the Kingdom of God

The practice of the priesthood of all the believers is essential for the Kingdom of God to be established in a city

Training for Committed
Christ-followers.
