What is a CTC?

A Community Transformation Center (CTC) is a kingdom-centered, biblical and vocational-styled on-site training center which trains national Indian Christians who have a desire to be agents of transformation. The CTC is a church-planting training that is creative, comprehensive, effective and enduring. It is a Bible School, Vocational Training Centre and Mission Base all rolled into one. The functioning of CTC is for the church, by the church, through the church and of the church.

Purpose

The purpose of CTC is to train national lay leaders of the Church in evangelism and church planting and empower them socially and economically so that they can create a chain reaction in empowering the grass roots and bring spiritual and socio-economic transformation.

The Process

Henry Ford once said "Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." The CTC is a joint effort involving an administrative body of the Church or a representative, who has a passion for taking the message of transformation to a people who have been abandoned and neglected by their communities.

The next step involves recruiting twelve students for the program. The students are chosen through application forms and a battery of interviews. The students attend an orientation program which familiarizes them with UEM's and CTC's vision, objectives, goals and functions.

Structure

The CTC training programme is for two years swapped between one month Residential Class and three months of Field Work. The objective is three fold.

Evangelism:

Reaching the families and individuals of a specific community with the love and gospel of Jesus Christ and win them to His kingdom fold.

Edification:

Equip and nurture the new believers into mature saints and establish house worship centers.

Empowerment:

To bring about a socio–economic transformation by empowering the grassroots through literacy campaigns and comprehensive set of vocational skills to impact the whole community to be self supportive.
