About us

We help ministries that have their boots on the ground, those "feet on the street" organizations that meet people where they are-whether on the streets, in shelters, or in neighborhoods-bringing practical help and the hope of the gospel to the nations. Rooted in a Christ-centered mission, we believe unity multiplies impact, empowering ministries to transform lives and strengthen communities in ways none of us could achieve alone.

At The Great Commission, we carry the unseen load-donations, accounting, wages, compliance-so the mission never has to pause. Our ministries carry the gospel. We carry them.
