Transforming Christian Ministries has merged with Horizons Stewardship, a leading full-service church and faith-based nonprofit fundraising and generosity consultancy. The official announcement was made in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday, February 1, 2024. The move to merge Transforming Christian Ministries into Horizons Stewardship started in 2023 to help both organizations expand the diversity of ministry environments served.
