The Great Commission Alliance is a non-denominational Christian ministry that is committed to multiplying Christ-like multipliers until the Great Commission is completed. They seek to accomplish this through intercession and prayer, guidance and consulting, next generation ministry, international partnerships, developing great tools, and equipping believers for effective ministry.

Each of their team members has been radically impacted by the concept of spiritual multiplication. They have seen people being won to Christ, discipled, and in turn repeating the process. Having seen actual examples of this in ministry, their team is committed to helping believers everywhere do the same. They want to help Christians everywhere become equipped to share their faith and make multiplying Christ-like multipliers.
