What is Master's Commission?

Good Question. However, there is no simple answer. Master's Commission is an intense 9-month discipleship-training program dedicated to making Disciples of Christ that will usher in the last day's revival.

Master's Commission entails more specific details unique to each program and church. But, the goal is to produce an environment of lasting change in the way we live, that leads to a deeper relationship of the one we passionately pursue. A person in Master's Commission crosses the line from casual Christianity to a sold out disciple.

How did Master's Commission begin?

Master's Commission began in 1984 in Phoenix, Arizona, at Phoenix First Assembly of God Church. It was begun in response to a challenge from a Mormon Missionary to two Christian men in the church. The men decided to take the challenge and dedicate a year of their life to a set of requirements for each other. The men were astonished with the amount of growth in their personal lives after a year of keeping each other accountable to the prayer, Scripture memorization, witnessing and other requirements. One of those men, Larry Kerychuck, spoke to Pastor Barnett and began the Master's Commission program with Carmen Balsamo, as the director. During the second year of the MC program, Carmen passed away and Pastor Lloyd Zeigler became the director of Master's Commission. 23 years later, Pastor Lloyd continues to pastor the Master's Commission program now called MC USA and the world-wide network of Master's Commission. Extreme, continuous, God given growth, has moved this ministry into what Pastor Tommy Barnett calls, the multiplication factor. Because of this growth, the Master's Commission International Network (MCIN) was formed. Our best days are still ahead.
