Statement of faith
Broadly, we affirm historic, orthodox Christianity as represented by the Apostles and Nicene Creeds.
Specifically, we are Evangelical and affirm the doctrinal statement of the World Evangelical Alliance:
...in the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct...
One God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...
Our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His Personal return in power and glory...
The Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit...
The Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ...
The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ...
The Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

History
1989 | Founded
Great Commission Ministries (GCM) was founded as a mission agency for Great Commission Churches to focus on campus church planting. With help from Campus Crusade for Christ, GCM launched its first missionary training class for campus church planters.
2001 | Growth and Leadership
In addition to its role as a mission agency, GCM also functions as a church leadership office, becoming known as an up-and-coming campus church planting network in the U.S.
2006 | Refocusing
As the Great Commission movement matures, it spins off multiple independent church leadership groups with various callings. God leads GCM's board of directors to choose a clear focus: missionary mobilization. GCM begins a new chapter, offering experience in missionary services to missional churches and Gospel-centered nonprofits throughout the evangelical world. GCM is no longer a single-association agency.
2015 | Becoming Reliant
As GCM continues to serve a broader range of evangelical missionaries and organizations, the board of directors agrees on a new name to better fit who GCM serves. As a result, GCM became Reliant Mission in 2015.
TODAY
Reliant continues to serve many new partner church networks, with Reliant serving as a hub between local churches, missionaries, and generous donors who support their work. Reliant also serves local churches by providing training and support for their residency and internship programs. Reliant serves around 900 missionaries and has seen steady growth in financial giving year after year.
Program accomplishments
Reliant has church and ministry partners in 278 cities and 37 countries.
Needs
Reliant has many on-going projects that are in need of funding. More information on these specific projects may be found on Reliant's website.
