What is MCC?

Master's Commission is a discipleship program that is anything but ordinary. The calling of every Christian is to be a disciple, to follow Christ no matter what the cost. Jesus once chose 12 people to be his full-time disciples. They took up a mandate to forsake everything and pursue God whole-heartedly. Their lives were changed by daily walking with the Master, listening to His voice and spending time close to His heart. The calling of a Master's Commission student is exactly that, to commit time to God for no other purpose than to know Him more intimately and to live for Him more completely. Each person that embarks on this journey commits nine months of their life to full-time discipleship. BALANCED training: 1/3 Hands-on-training, 1/3 Academic, 1/3 Prayer and the Word.

What is a typical day for a Master's Commission student?

Committed to providing each student with the best possible atmosphere for growth, a typical Master's Commission day is designed to shape and stretch the heart of every student into that of a disciple. Mornings consist of organized prayer, Bible study, discipleship, scripture memorization, and time to work on required academic studies. Over the course of the year, each student will memorize over 300 verses of scripture and complete 8-12 credits of Bible College courses. Students also have the opportunity to hear and learn from incredible guest speakers, pastors, and missionaries who will share with them solid life-training and practical ministry teachings.

Afternoons are devoted to developing a soul-winner's heart by training students in hands-on ministry experience. (drama, tools, worship, media, public speaking, etc…) We minister as a team at over 100 services a year thus many afternoons are also devoted to service and sermon preparation. Full-time ministry is not a job that starts when a pay check does; it is the very heart of being a disciple. Each person will learn what ministry means first hand by spending time in a variety of opportunities to reach out to people of all ages. Whether you are ministering to a fatherless six year old at a street outreach, preaching in front of 2000 people at a conference or holding the hand of a 96 year old woman who is alone in a nursing home, your view of ministry will never be the same!

What do I do after a year of Master's Commission?

After graduating the first-year discipleship program of Master’s Commission Canada, the options are endless! We highly recommend that students return to complete a second year of leadership training. This time gives the second-year student the ability to further live out the discipline he or she has already acquired, and build leadership skills that will benefit any disciple regardless of where God leads. Some students may choose to continue their education at a secular University, or transfer acquired credits to a formal Bible College. No matter what you choose, we believe that you will be equipped to live out the call God has on your life.
