Our Guiding Light
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20
In Christianity, the Great Commission stands as the directive of the resurrected Jesus Christ to his disciples, urging them to spread the gospel worldwide. Perhaps the most renowned rendition of this command is found in Matthew 28:16–20, where Jesus, standing on a mountain in Galilee, instructs his followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This commission serves as a cornerstone in Christian theology, highlighting the importance of ministry, missionary endeavors, evangelism, and baptism.
In contemporary times, many identify as Christian without necessarily embodying the values and principles of the faith. This trend underscores a cultural shift where the Church is often perceived more as a label or a brand rather than a transformative encounter with Jesus Christ. The Great Commission Theatre endeavors to confront this reality by engaging culture through relevant narratives that convey God's truth, offering a platform for evangelism that is approachable and relatable.
Our aspiration is to delve deeper into the mystery of Christ while fostering understanding of both ourselves and God's creation. We are dedicated to cultivating an inclusive and inviting space for all individuals. Through our storytelling, we aim to breathe life into the diverse experiences of today's society, meeting people where they are and inviting them to explore the depths of faith, hope, mercy, grace, redemption, and above all, love.
Our Beliefs
EVANGELIZATION
We believe in producing high-quality stage productions that
inspire hope and encouragement through the Christian world-view.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
COMMUNITY
We believe in fellowship that
helps build God’s Kingdom.
That there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
DISCIPLESHIP
We believe in encountering and accompanying
others that seek to grow in their relationship with Christ.
For to this, you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
STEWARDSHIP
We believe in giving our time, talent, and treasure to The Lord, our neighbors, and his divine creation.
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.
~ 1 Peter 4:10
