OUR STORY

A Personal Journey of Faith and Transformation

Several years ago, everything changed in a single, spirit-filled moment. I encountered Christ in a way that transformed my inner life and ignited a passion to share the Gospel authentically. At that time, I had experienced evangelism as a formula—an impersonal, canned approach that felt more like “selling Jesus” than living His message. I realized then that the message of Christ demanded a different expression—one imbued with the incarnational power of the Holy Spirit and rooted in the timeless tradition of Orthodoxy.

Embracing the Living Tradition

In my search for deeper truth and connection, I immersed myself in the teachings and history of our Church. I enrolled in the Antiochian House of Studies’ certificate program in applied Orthodox theology, eager to understand the rich spiritual heritage that had sustained generations of believers. Through rigorous study and spiritual formation, I discovered not only a wellspring of theological insight but also a deep calling: to equip others with authentic, comprehensive evangelization and discipleship training that honors our tradition without losing relevance in today’s world.

The Birth of the Great Commission Corps

On January 10, 2022, I experienced an undeniable stirring of the Holy Spirit, and in a moment that crystallized my vision, I was inspired to create a platform dedicated to fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission through education, mentorship, and genuine community-building. Thus, the Great Commission Corps was born—a plug-and-learn resource designed to provide small group courses, seminars, online videos, blogs, books, and support materials for both church leaders and believers on their journey toward deeper intimacy with God.

Our Mission: Unite. Equip. Evangelize.

At the heart of our work is a set of core values that reflect a steadfast commitment to tradition, unwavering integrity, genuine humility, and heartfelt pastoral care. We believe in:

  • Uniting Hearts: Bringing together Orthodox Christians and parish leaders from all walks of life to form a vibrant, supportive community.

  • Equipping Minds: Offering robust, spiritually enriching courses like Seeds for the Sower—a guide to sharing Jesus naturally and incarnationally—and Build Your Faith on Rock, Not Sand—a catechism course designed to nurture a deep, contextual understanding of our faith.

  • Evangelizing Boldly: Living out the Gospel through intentional training, continuous encouragement, and practical support, igniting a movement that transforms individuals and entire parishes alike.

 

A Movement for Transformation

Today, the Great Commission Corps stands as a testament to the power of aligning personal transformation with the wisdom of our ancient tradition. Our community continues to grow as more Orthodox Christians and parish leaders join us in a journey that transcends mere theory, inviting vibrant, transformative action in every aspect of life. We envision a world where every believer is empowered to not only cultivate their own spiritual life but also share the Gospel with bold authenticity, impacting lives and communities for generations to come.
