Commission On New Churches

BIBLICAL MANDATE:  "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."  Matthew 28:19, 20a

FOCUS:  To create and care for the church planting movement of the GLC.  Specifically:  church plant sanction and supervision, daughter churches, recruitment and equipping of planters, restart of churches, new church acquisition.

The Commission is to be a catalyst for new, reproducing movements that make disciples.  This is accomplished by recruiting spiritual entrepreneurs, equipping and empowering them, and encouraging and supporting them and their movements for the glory of God.

When a fellowship of believers wishes to identify with the GLC, the Commission will work with the leadership of that group to determine compatibility and to outline the process for receiving them into the Conference.

The Commission will be responsible to foster the church planting efforts of the GLC.
