REIGNITE (Church Transformation Network)

We know that healthy things naturally grow. We know that healthy things naturally grow. Church Transformation is all about church health. Instead of asking the question, “How can we grow our churches?”, we should be asking the question, “How can we grow our churches?”, we should be asking the question, “Are SoCal Network churches healthy?”

The Church Transformation Network exists to help you in five areas of church health: A God-inspired Vision, Develop Winning Teams, Become a Life-changing Church, Managing Resources, Multiplying Leadership.

God has promised to bless a God-driven strategy. We are here to pray and plan with you, committed to helping churches realize health.
