We are part of Commission, an international family of churches working together to share the good news of Jesus throughout the world, a direct response to the Great Commission.
“all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.”
— Matthew 28:19

Why are we part of the Commission family?
• We believe in being part of a family rather than operating as a stand-alone church and enjoy the two-way benefits involved.
• Commission are passionate about supporting the local church and regard local churches as central to the mission of God. One facet of this is Commission's commitment to raising and training men and women as leaders. They deliver a range of training courses, from specialist training to part time leadership courses.
• We also engage in Commission conferences and events which equip us and give us the opportunity to gather together and build relationships.

How do we help Commission fulfil their vision?
• We help to provide care and support for existing churches, and work together to see new churches started in new locations.
• Our leadership team volunteer some of their time and gifting to help other churches and raise new leaders across the UK.
• We are committed to Commission by way of regular financial giving.
Commission is an international family
Churches in the UK, Portugal, Spain, Serbia, South Asia, USA, Ghana, Philippines, Brazil and Middle East are working together to see God's kingdom advance through church planting, raising leaders, reaching the unreached, and working with those in need.
To mobilise this, Commission works to develop relationships between churches through a variety of events throughout the year.
Commission Festival
A key Commission event is Commission Festival, where hundreds of Commission churches camp together, to worship, learn and love.
The three aims of Commission Festival are:
For children and youth to learn to follow Jesus, be filled with the Holy Spirit and grasp God’s big plan for their lives.
For individuals and churches to spend time together as friends and family, to eat and to gather for those important God moments.
It is about Christ’s great mission, to be equipped by teaching, released in gifting and empowered to share the love of Jesus.
Newfrontiers
Commission are part of the wider global Newfrontiers family, a movement that’s grown to hundreds of churches all around the world. Newfrontiers is made up of groups (or ‘spheres’) of churches and Commission is one of these groups. Find out more about Newfrontiers at newfrontierstogether.org
