ABOUT GCA

 

The Great Commission Association of Southern Baptist Churches (GCA) provides pastors and their families the support they need to build healthy relationships and healthy churches. Established in 1947, it has 120 ministries and member churches from San Mateo to Solvang and from Monterey to Milpitas. More than anything, we are a family fostering powerful, loving relationships to advance the Great Commission together.

 MINISTRIES

 

GCA Ministry Wives

The Ministry Wives Program at Great Commission Association (GCA) is a dedicated initiative that provides essential support and resources tailored specifically for the wives of pastors and church leaders.

Through mentorship, guidance, workshops, and a supportive community, the program equips ministry wives with the tools and encouragement they need to navigate their unique roles effectively. By nurturing and empowering these women, GCA fosters stronger families, healthier churches, and greater impact in communities served by member churches.

 

Great Commission Prayer Initiative

Do you desire to strengthen your church's foundation through prayer and Scripture?

Our 2021 Prayer Guide offers daily prayer topics and Scripture passages for reading through the Bible in a year. Join us in uniting our prayers around these topics, fostering a spirit of unity and collective intercession.

GCA Preschool Partnership Program

Does your church desire to serve the local community families? 

Optimizing your facility's usage means using it throughout the week while keeping it available for church activities. It is crucial to collaborate with like-minded ministry partners who share your commitment to spreading the Gospel. We invite your church to explore a potential partnership with Hearts and Hands Christian Preschools, a GCA ministry, to serve the young families in your community better.

 

Student Mission Exploration Process

High school is crucial for students to discover and gain a greater vision for their lives.

GCA has prayerfully launched a Student Missional Exploration Process (SMEP) for selected high school students. The project aims to help students engage in missional living. We pray that God will add favor to the project and the future emphasis on Students at GCA.

Great Commission Training Institute

Great Commission Training Institute (GCTI) is the equipping component of Operation Great Commission with the premise that leadership development is essential to church health and gospel impact. The goal is to equip reproducible disciple-makers and provide quality training accessible and affordable to pastors, church lay leaders, ministry wives, and bi-vocational leaders.
