About CoMission

A ministry that grew into an ecosystem

CoMission — the spelling is intentional. The ‘Co’ expresses partnership, co-laboring, and shared participation in the mission of God. We help God's people make disciples who multiply.

Our mission

CoMission helps God's people make disciples who multiply by identifying spiritual seekers, equipping believers to become disciple makers, and connecting the two through tools, training, coaching, and technology-enabled systems.

Our vision

CoMission exists to see God's people awakened from passive, consumer-oriented Christianity into active, obedient participation in the Great Commission.

Early years
Ministry centers on compassionate, practical service — clinical work, home construction, mission-team hosting, and community service.
A growing awareness
Service creates openings, but many opportunities remain spiritually unfinished. Compassion alone is not enough.
COVID
The ministry sharpens its center: making disciples who make disciples through the faithful study of God's Word.
The breakthrough
A seeker-identification effort surfaces many people wanting prayer, Bible study, and follow-up — revealing a deeper problem: not enough disciple makers ready to respond.
Today
A platform model emerges to steward opportunities more faithfully, and CoMission becomes a broader disciple-making ecosystem — not only a field-service model.
