Rooted In Great Commission is our central hub—a dedicated space to educate, serve, teach, and guide every person in their walk.

Our Story

A Vision Born from Obedience and Faith:

God didn't just provide the vision—divine guidance led directly to the name Rooted In Great Commission, Inc. It stands as a reminder of an organization deeply grounded in Him through obedience and faith.

Rooted In Great Commission, Inc was born directly out of a profound instruction, vision, given by God through the powerful words of Matthew 28:19-20.

In this Great Commission, Jesus commands His disciples to go make disciples, baptize them, and teach them to obey all that He commanded, offering the ultimate promise "I am with you always."

Through prayer and reflection over these verses, God revealed the blueprint for this ministry; God revealed the purpose for this organization.


Our Purpose

God called us to a higher purpose: a mandate to educate, serve, teach, and provide guidance to His people. 

"Go make disciples"

Educate the children

"Baptize them"

Serve the community

"Teach them to obey"

Teach to all people

"I am with you always"

Guide and support 

These four divine directives became the four foundational pillars of our organization.
