Who We Are

We are Master’s Commission Sacramento. We were established in 1997 by Pastor Jason Harper. Over the past 11 years we have had over 120 students come through MCS. Of those students over 50 of them are in full time ministry. We are apart of Capital Christian Center in Sacramento, California under the leadership of Pastor Rick Cole. We focus on personal growth and ministry training. Our goal is to train and send out the Christian leaders of the future.

What?
We are an intense discipleship program. Our purpose is simple and two fold. Our first and primary focus is personal and spiritual growth. Secondly, we also focus on training people for full time ministry. We use biblical teaching and real life experience to train people for life and leadership. Master’s Commission Sacramento is a nine month program. After nine months the students have the possibility of coming back for a 2nd year and then possibly a 3rd year as well to continue to get pointed ministry training. We are here to send out God’s chosen leaders of the future.

How?
We fulfill each of our two purposes through two separate but closely related venues. With any job or field in life there are two things that are needed to succeed. Those two things are the knowledge that it takes to understand and the experience that it takes to know how. At MCS we use both to give students great personal growth and exceptional ministry training.

1. We seek to grow students.
• We use various experiential based group and individual exercises. These are designed to place students in high pressure situations in order to stretch them and grow their character. These exercises focus both on spiritual growth and practical life skills.
• The students will participate in various character building classes that will challenge them to think and live different. This is done through our core values class, life lessons class, and our chapel services. These classes are taught by the MCS staff and other church leaders.

2. We seek to train students for ministry.
All students attend Capital Bible College. Three days a week the students are in class and being taught by some of the top leaders in the Assemblies of God. The students receive a will round, Christ centered biblical education.

We then allow the students to put into practice the principles that are taught in the class room. As the students are learning academically they also train experientially. As the student progresses in our three year program, they have the opportunity to track, as a 2nd year and then APEX as a third year or a 4 year college graduate, in a desired area of ministry. The areas of ministry that we currently offer this pointed training are; college ministry, high school ministry, junior high ministry, children’s ministry, worship, media, and Master’s Commission.
