The Great Commission Initiative is a collaborative effort of the Dallas, Union, and San Antonio Baptist Associations. We also partner with a variety of Baptist denominational agencies, including the International Mission Board, Baptist General Association of Virginia, Baptist General Convention of Texas, Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, and the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention.
|
Our Mission
To facilitate global church planting movements by equipping church
planters, pastors, lay leaders and mission strategists with the
most current missiological thinking and practices.
|
|
is provide intensive training and networking opportunities designed to equip highly motivated
Christians to identify, engage, evangelize and disciple unreached people groups. These training
opportunities are made possible at low cost because of the Cooperative Program and Associational Missions Gifts
of Baptist churches, and the gracious financial support of the Baptist General Convention of Texas and
the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention.
|
Our Vision
By the year 2010, there will be an expanding network of more than
500 Great Commission churches actively facilitating global church planting movements
among unreached ethnolinguistic people.

From the Executive Director: T
Since 2003, Texas has been the proving ground for the Great Commission
Initiative. It is here that we have refined what we have
learned
from the international field, and contextualized it for North America. We
have had some of our best trainings and best trainers. And, it
is here in Texas that we have been able to see some of the best fruit of our
strategies:
-
Union Baptist Association's reorganization to focus on people groups.
-
Forest Meadow Church of Dallas's planting four generations of churches in
six years, now averaging over 6500 in attendance
-
Rob and Gloria Rollison's work in Mexico
-
Wendell Skinner's work in Mongolia
-
Paul Gonzales and Olber Roblero's Hispanic House Church Network in San
Antonio
-
David Valentine's work among the inmate and prison guard populations in
Huntsville
