The group is organized by Paul Borden, who also leads an organization called "Growing Healthy Churches." (Growing Healthy Churches has a fascinating story, being formerly known as American Baptist Churches of the West. You can find out more by clicking here.)

They state that their vision:

The purpose of the Great Commission Network is to provide a peer learning environment for people leading groups of congregations (judicatories and associations) to embrace systemic transformation, in order to embrace whole heartedly the Great Commission. GCN is a place to help such people stimulate and formulate ideas for systemic change, while encouraging those members who seek to implement new and radical plans for change.

We had a great morning talking about how the gospel transforms lives and churches. Lots of good dialogue, etc., around Comeback Churches, missional churches, and other topics.
