Transformation Ministries is a collaboration of churches primarily located in California. It was formed in 2006 when the American Baptist Churches of the Pacific Southwest split from the American Baptist Churches USA over the issue of Biblical authority. ABCUSA was equivocal regarding homosexuality. TM Churches reaffirm historic Christian belief that "the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching."^[1] It is based in Covina, California.

TM Churches has moved forward since then, adding and planting churches both in the southwest as well as across the country. A new focus, on ministry hubs across the nation, is changing the geographic spread of member churches. Hubs in Dallas, Miami, Indianapolis and elsewhere are in process. TM has crossed the border to establish a Tijuana hub.

In 2017, twenty-one churches were planted or were in process of launching. The goal by 14.

Transformation Ministries, while retaining a Baptist theology and ethos, is an example of the newer post-denominational face of 21st century evangelical church fellowships. It does not consider itself a denomination, but rather an association of churches.
