“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
- Matthew 28:18b-20

The Great Commission Summit exists to help local churches understand their place within the changing dynamic of the global church.

It is our contention that local churches exist on a continuum, always moving toward what is NEXT. Living out the Great Commission requires us to understand how we are to grow within the context we have been planted and what direction we are headed.

At times this direction leads to opportunities to spread, divide and plant.

It leads toward multiplying ministry.

At other times it leads a different set of opportunities.

Opportunities to reevaluate what works in a particular context.
Maybe to identify a different type of ministry that might flourish and grow.

Monday, Nov. 14, 5:30 pm in the CU Center at Concordia University Irvine.
