Transforming Life Centre International (TLCI) is a non-denominational church headquartered in Canada’s capital, Ottawa, Ontario – with a global mandate to “Transform Lives and Raise Leaders.”

The vision – “Transforming lives and raising leaders” – was birthed by an act of faith in June 2011, inside Dr. Ralph Dartey’s home with only twenty-nine members. After years of nurturing the call and pouring out the anointing, Dr. Ralph and his life partner, Pastor Regina Dartey have devoted themselves to the growth of the ministry’s ultimate vision across Canada, and the world at large, with a congregation of over 1,800 in the Ottawa assembly.

Since 2011, they have successfully planted twenty-five branches across Canada, and worldwide. There are over thirty ministries in active participation under their leadership – ranging from a strong millennial and youth team, to adults, intercessory prayer, children and various other trans-generational ministries
