Mission

The Great Commission Center shares the same primary concerns as the Student Volunteer Movement led by John R. Mott over a century ago. We are focused on mobilizing Christ’s church to reach the world for His glory. We strive to do this by:

• Leading students to a thorough consideration of the claims of international missions upon them personally as a lifework.
• Fostering this by guiding students in their studies and activities for missions.
• Mobilizing a missions force of well-qualified missionaries.
• Creating an intelligent, sympathetic and active interest in international missions on the part of students who remain at home in order to ensure the strong backing of the missionary enterprise by their advocacy, their gifts, and their prayers. 

The emphasis will be on providing an atmosphere on the seminary campus focused upon missions awareness, support, and involvement.

Objectives

• Foster a heightened missions awareness on campus.
• Promote local, national, and international missions involvement.
• Encourage intentional evangelism through Reaching Out Louisville, Southern Evangelistic Teams and local church outreach ministries.
• Promote the seminary’s commitment to the Great Commission.
