To Know God and to Make Him Known

Our Goal and Vision

Oswald Chambers said, “If you have ever had the vision of God, you may try as you like to be satisfied on a lower lever, but God will never let you.” Our goal is that students grow so deeply in their relationship with the Lord that they know the heartbeat of the Master, to reach a hurting world and know they are one of the many vessels he intends to use. The Bible admonishes us to “study to show thyself approved” (2 Timothy 2:15), therefore study and preparation is a vital part of this program.  However, it is the hands-on ministry, and actually living out these choices and commitments that makes the difference.                                

The Beginning

Master’s Commission was born in 1984 in the heart of Larry Kerrychuck, through a challenge to develop and build the next generation of world changers. Under the direction of Carmen Balsamo at First Assembly of God, Phoenix, Arizona, Master’s Commission would become a place where people from all walks of life could come, grow and build a foundation that a lifetime of service might be lived out.  After Carmen’s untimely death in 1987, Rev. Lloyd Zeigler accepting the position as director began and continues to this day to challenge and inspire men and women of all ages to new heights.

The National Perspective

Master’s has quickly become a nationwide ministry as it has spread too many different cities across the country. All affiliated Master’s Commissions are committed to being a discipleship program balanced with evangelism to grow the whole person. Each Master’s Commission retains individuality through its church base and specific focus, whether it be youth ministry, children’s ministry, missions, pastoral care, or all of those. At the same time our common vision and focus remains the same: To win souls and create disciples in order to fulfill The Great Commission. More than a program, Master’s Commission is a lifestyle of total commitment for Christians of all levels. We believe teaching Godly disciplines will provide direction during the most critical times of a person’s life. The Holy Spirit is given complete freedom to transform individuals into the image of the Master.
