About the Great Commission Conference

  • We exist to empower and equip young adults to make disciples of every tribe, tongue and nation.
  • This conference is designed for 18-25 year-olds and their leaders. However, we understand that there are those in their late twenties who can benefit from training at the Great Commission Conference, so we do not impose a strict age limit.
  • GCC is hosted by California Baptist University and will take place at the historic Mitten Building in downtown Redlands, California. Surrounded by great shops, restaurants and entertainment, there is no shortage of things to do in your down time!
  • Registration is reserved until October 1 for CBU students only. After November 1, we invite those belonging to or leading any local church young adult ministry to register and take advantage of this conference!
