Introducing
GRACE AFFILIATE CHURCHES & MINISTRIES – GACM
Acting alone is good, but acting together is far better for kingdom expansion operations.
Grace Affiliate Churches and Ministries (GACM) is a structured arrangement through which Chapel of Grace Transformation Ministry supports Churches and Para-Church Ministries that are affiliated to it. Affiliates receive diverse ministerial supports and resources to enable them to function effectively within their peculiar focus.
Who can Affiliate?
- Independent Churches operating from anywhere – registered or unregistered
- Independent Para-church Organizations/Ministries
- Independent Itinerant Ministers
- Churches planted by Chapel of Grace Transformation Ministry

- A prospective Affiliate must sign to stay aligned with the Corporate Vision of CGTM.
- An Affiliate may choose to run its Church or Ministry under the name of CGTM or operate with a different Brand name, but use CGTM as AKA. Example, you can have something like, Glory Life Centre aka Chapel of Grace Transformation Ministry. Glory Life Centre is the Brand name of the Affiliate Ministry/Church, but Chapel of Grace Transformation Ministry is the registered name for Ministry which it uses for official banking transactions.
- Each Affiliate Operates as an Independent Ministry/Church/organization, and is not subject to the leadership of CGTM for its operations.
