From the Great Commission Movement's facebook description:

For all those involved with a church that's a part of the Great Commission Movement, including the distinct organizations Great Commission Churches (GCC), GCM Churches (GCMC), GC Latin America (GCLA), and GC Europe (GCE), all of which are part of the Great Commission Global Fellowship (GCGF).

I wasn't able to find a website for it. How long until current members start telling people "Oh, those are criticisms of GCM and GCC, but we're a member of GCMC which is completely different."

It brings memories of how many times my local GC church changed names -- yes 4x in less than 10 years!!  They always had their reasons (none that I believe now).   It got laughable.  I think they were running away from some trouble for the first 2 name changes.

Columbus was nutty that way.  I lost track of the name changes.  My "favorite" was "We stopped calling ourselves Solid Rock because we were confused as a rock [music group].   I was still in my cult involvement at the time and still saw right through that one  ---  and it was only driven by a lade going to  church  on Sunday.
