We're excited to launch our new course - the Antioch Factor, which refreshes and updates the rich content in a shorter and more accessible format. In the webinar, Ross shared the story of the discovery the Lord led him to, and why it matters for the church today. We also heard from special guests.

Keys to Unlocking the Great Commission
Every church has a stark choice: will we play our part in the Great Commission or not?
Why was Paul, the world's most effective missionary sent out with Barnabas from the Antioch church, not Jerusalem? What was the difference between them? The book of Acts is full of pointers to help us become a church that will make an eternal impact. Based on Ross Paterson's impactful book, this webinar will give you fresh vision, along with practical tips to become an 'Antioch Church'.
"The Antioch Factor book so impacted me that I bought 800 copies because I thought the message was so important! There's so much potential in embracing the power of the message of the Antioch Factor!"
"In the last 22 years, over 4,000 students have gone through this program, and in the last 20 years I've watched our church transform from an inward Jerusalem church to an outward missional church of Antioch."
"Through this course, our worldview was enlarged, and it taught us how God prepares people, using different timings, locations, strategies and regions to accomplish His work. It has blessed over 300 of our students!"
This course is very helpful! It clarifies what the mission of God and the Church is - that we are called to the ends of the earth. It encourages us to engage in Global mission and mobilize our local churches.
Presenter
Ross Paterson’s original call from God, in the early 60s, was to serve China – her people and her Church. He has been faithful to that call, going first to Taiwan as a missionary in 1969. He has been involved in establishing and operating a number of internationally respected ministries. Today, Ross travels across a number of nations, preaching and teaching and sharing their desire to see the church of Jesus Christ embrace a biblical burden for world mission. Ross is the author of several books, including the Antioch Factor!
Anybody who cares about, or wants to learn more about becoming a Great Commisson Church!
We think it will be particularly helpful for church leaders, mission pastors or advocates of mission, senders or people involved with sending agencies.
Please do! The event is free - the more the merrier. We know there are millions of churches, and we want to be a part of equipping and helping as many as possible!
The event lasted 35 minutes.
The Antioch Factor is a deep dive into the early chapters of the book of Acts, viewed through the lens of the Great Commission. The question at its heart: what does a New Testament church look like?
Ross Paterson presents a stark choice that no Christian or church can avoid making – whether we become a Jerusalem church or Antioch Church. Ross unpacks what that means and its critical importance from the events of the early church in Acts. Why did Paul find Jesus in Damascus, not in Jerusalem? Why was Paul sent out with Barnabas from Antioch, not from Jerusalem? This course will give these answers, alongside a host of practical pointers for you to apply.
