Our Mission

To simplify ministry and mission by providing donor, administrative, and compliance expertise.

Our Vision

To fulfill the Great Commission through collaboration.

Our Mandate and Working Relationships with Missions

GCF works exclusively with Christian ministries and projects in a dynamic cooperative relationship. Ministries and projects engage in outreach activities and provide on-site personnel on the mission field, while GCF provides essential administrative and accounting expertise. GCF enables our Agents to focus on the ministry work to which God has called them. It is a team effort working towards common goals: the advancement of the Christian faith, the furtherance of education, and the relief of poverty.

What makes us unique?

Friends of the Great Commission is a solution for individuals, missionaries, non-profits, charities, churches, and partner-based ministries. We can help those whose goals align with ours by bringing them on as an agent (a ministry partner).

  • Our charitable purposes are the advancement of the Christian faith, the furtherance of education, and the relief of poverty.

  • We are a place for nonprofits and missionaries. Not all projects and ministries fit into a traditional ministry model. Often people find God calling them to a specific people group or type of ministry. Yet, their project or ministry does not fall into the criteria of any current mission board. These individuals, projects, or ministries are nonprofit but not necessarily recognized charities; we offer a great solution that allows them to move forward in ministry and missions.

  • We provide options for organizations with American donors. Nonprofit organizations with American donors who do not have charitable status in the U.S. but have the same charitable purposes as Friends of the Great Commission can join us as an agent (a ministry partner). We provide donor services, including official tax receipts, to financial supporters.

  • We are a solution for both new and established churches. New church plants find it liberating to utilize our expertise, which includes donor services, payroll, and guidance in administrative and financial best practices to meet Internal Revenue Service requirements. Established churches are often presented with outreach or mission opportunities by their congregation, but when these ministry opportunities do not match their charitable purposes, Friends of the Great Commission can be the solution.

  • We help registered charities. Many Christian charities are finding it increasingly difficult to find solutions for their administrative and accounting needs. In addition, adhering to the compliance requirements of the Internal Revenue Service can be challenging. Yet, meeting these standards is vital to retaining charitable status. We come alongside registered charities, providing services that reduce the burden of administration and remove the weight of determining how to fulfill their compliance requirements. Providing this relief allows the charity to focus more time on ministry work.

FGC was a breath of fresh air as they had my application approved and my project set up within a week! As our ministry has grown we have become involved in many new and exciting projects. FGC has always been willing to work with us and has found a way to take care of us every time without any red tape or complicated requirements.
Abide Well - Nathan Burlingame
Everyone I have had the pleasure of working with has been incredibly helpful! I can tell that their staff is not only well trained in their various fields but also have a heart for the mission: that more would know Jesus. I love having a go-to contact person. I have appreciated that FGC takes care of all the back end work with donors and makes it simple for us to receive our salaries and reimbursements for ministry expenses. I also appreciate all the resources they have ready for their partners.
