The 412 Commission

The 412 Commission has been a successful, 3-year ministry operated by CE National. Since its beginning, 50 people have been influenced through this ministry as participants or leaders. The CE National Board of Directors has decided to conclude the 412 ministry for a number of reasons, mostly relating to financial constraints in operating a program with a limited number of students. But CE National praises God for the 50 who have been trained. As one board member said, “May God use these 50 people to impact this world”.

Other programs similar to 412 have developed. Dr. Randy Smith oversees a program called "The Great Commission Bible Institute". It is a non-accredited program very similar to a 412 experience.

Dr. Tim Boal of Go 2 Church Planting also has a local church Bible training program called "The Antioch School". It is a fully accredited program that helps develop church planters and leadership within the local church.

1 Timothy 4:12 gives an amazing charge to young adults "...set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." The 412 Commission is an exciting program designed to nurture young leaders in an effective discipling environment.
