THE GREAT COMMISSION CONSCIENCE

What is Your Church's Great Commission Conscience?

What is a "Great Commission Conscience?". It is an attitude that permeates the thinking and decision-making process of a church. It is an attitude which sees people outside of Christ as lost. It is an attitude which causes rejoicing when new people join the church, especially if they are new converts. It is an attitude which prioritizes disciple making. It is an attitude which resonates with the Great Commission found in its various forms throughout Scripture. It is an attitude which sees missions as "over there" and "right here". It is an attitude which motivates both corporate and personal action in prayer, giving, and service for Great Commission results.

What is the "Great Commission Conscience" ratio necessary for a church to experience growth? There are two rations. The first is a Lay Leader Ratio - 3:5, the second is a Membership Ratio - 1:5. In other words, a church should have at least three of every five lay leaders ( a voting majority) with such a conscience, and at least 20% of its members with a similar Great Commission Conscience. But how do you determine either? Simple ... you ask them. During the seminar, participants will be given an exercise of answering ten "YES/NO" questions which will give them a clue. Seven of ten affirmative answers is an indication of a reasonably strong "Great Commission Conscience."
