Starting a Master’s Commission® (MC) is not a simple undertaking. From the beginning of Master’s Commission®, 25 years ago, we have worked with many different churches in many denominations.  Throughout the years, we have found what truly determines the success of a Master’s Commission® at a church.  It is when the Lead Pastor, Elders & MC Director have a collective heart and vision for this ministry.  When these three are in agreement with the MC vision, the potential for lasting impact is great.

 

We have tracked the progress of MC programs and have found that 60% of churches who start a Master’s Commission without laying the proper groundwork will shut down within 2 to 5 years. The programs with the most success have a pastor and director who catch the  vision and seek out relationships with experienced MC leaders to learn the programs potential and pitfalls.

 

Our ability to partner with you is determined by the relationship that your church decides to build with the Pioneer Division.  Our hearts intention is to exemplify what MC is and coach you through the process while you are beginning and establishing your program.
