Great Commission Committee

Church planting in the diocese is guided by the Canon for Church Planting and a group of dedicated volunteers, clergy and lay persons, who are passionate about the vision of starting new churches. This group, called the Great Commission Committee (GCC), is responsible for creating a missional ecosystem in the diocese in which multiplication and growth of new churches can be consistently nurtured. The purpose of the GCC can easily summarized as:

  • Making Disciples

  • Developing Leaders

  • Planting Churches

“There shall be a Great Commission Committee, the membership of which shall be determined by the Bishop with the advice of the Standing Committee.”
— Canon 5, Section 1
