The Great Commission Association of Southern Baptist Churches (GCA) provides pastors and their families the support they need to build healthy relationships and healthy churches. Established in 1947, it has 120 ministries and member churches from San Mateo to Solvang and from Monterey to Milpitas. More than anything, we are a family fostering powerful, loving relationships to advance the Great Commission together.

Dr. Michael Stewart has been the director of GCA since 1997. Since that time, GCA has invested strongly in new outreach strategies that have proven effective. Nearly 60 new churches have been planted. The first of our Hearts and Hands Christian Preschools opened in 2003 in partnership with member churches. Parents have consistently voted them the best preschools in the Bay Area.

We believe in connecting churches for a Greater Harvest. We are committed to providing the Right Relationships and the Right Resources at the Right Time to dramatically improve the outlook and performance of God’s pastors and His churches. At GCA, we are committed to investing in the health and happiness of our pastors and ministry wives and their families –and providing the resources they need to build strong churches.
