In 1991, the Ruling Elders of Church of the Great Commission (CGC) met at the Greenbelt Marriott Hotel, Greenbelt, Maryland for an Elder's planning retreat. After much prayer, and through the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Elders affirmed that God had given the church an evangelistic and discipleship vision that encompassed the entire world. Further, the Elders affirmed that God had given Pastor David T. P. Perrin a heart and a message for the nations.

     These two great affirmations gave birth to Great Commission Global Ministries (GCGM). The following year, 1992, Church of the Great Commission affirmed the call of God upon Pastor Perrin's life by setting him apart to formally organize GCGM. Then between 1993 and 1998, the vision laid dormant as Bishop Perrin and the ministry walked through the illness and home going of Elizabeth A. Perrin, Bishop Perrin's first wife.

    In March of 2000, GCGM was incorporated as a ministry in the State of Maryland. In June of 2000, a consecration service was held to formally set aside GCGM as a ministry. The mission of the ministry is “to equip, network, and mobilize all people, but especially Blacks, for ministry to the world”.  It is the vision of GCGM to develop global partnerships that will enable people to participate in missions through their natural abilities, skills, talents and spiritual gifts, and to do so through their existing ministry affiliations.

      In July of 2002, the ministry relocated from Mitchellville, MD to West Palm Beach, Florida. In September of 2002, at Kingdom Covenant Church in District Heights, MD, GCGM held its first ordination service — setting apart six ministers for ministry to the world.

     Partnership in Great Commission Global Ministries is open to individuals, ministers, churches, para-church ministries and networks of churches.
