We have had some recent changes within our ministry that we wanted to make you aware of. Starting this Fall, in September, Groundzero Master’s Commission will be a ministry at Marlton Assembly of God, in Marlton, NJ. We will finish out this MC year in our home church and then move GZMC in June. Nothing bad happened, our church is actually going in a really great direction and God is moving in our congregation. This move is the result God’s leading and has come with much prayer and consideration.

So what does this mean? The only thing that changes about Groundzero Master’s Commission is our location. NOTHING else changes.

- All of our current students have committed to make the move with us
- Our staff will remain the same.
- We will still be a satellite campus of Chesapeake Bible College & Seminary.
- Students will still be able to earn their Bachelor’s Degree in 3 years.
- We will still have a heavy focus on hands-on ministry experience.
- Students will still have an overseas mission experience.
- We will still offer specialized institutes in youth, children, missions, worship, and general studies.
- We will still be traveling and ministering at churches, conferences, and outreach events.


We are so excited about this new chapter of ministry that God is opening up for Groundzero Master’s Commission! We believe this move will not only strengthen GZMC, but will also open up new doors of ministry opportunity for our students.

Please continue to keep us in prayer during this transition!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Pastor Mike by email (info@gzmconline.com) or by phone (609.975.9663).

A lot has happened since our last update! We held our annual missions fundraiser and Italian desert night which was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who came out! Your prayer and financial support are making an eternal impact around the world! Sarah and Miranda, two of our second year students, left for Haiti and Guatemala respectively, where they will be spending three weeks developing the call to missions that God has placed upon their lives. We are so excited for all that God is doing in them! God also blessed us with several church rally opportunities over the last couple of weeks. It is always such a blessing to travel and share our lives with fellow believers! This past weekend we served at the Potomac district fine arts festival. It is incredible to see these students developing their God given talents, and we are always challenged by their ministry.

This weekend we have a church rally and a 7 project that we are blessed to be a part of. Pray that God would move in amazing ways! Also, check out our facebook page for frequent updates and pictures.

We had an awesome time in Hagerstown at their mid-winter break retreat. We were able to minister though stomp and dramas and it was truly awesome to see students’ lives challenged and seeing all that God was doing. Afterwards we had a great time hanging out with the students and getting to know them. This weekend is our annual missions fundraiser for our upcoming trip to the Dominican Republic.

WOW what an opportunity God has given us the last few weeks and upcoming to serve and to hear his word. This last week we had the blessing to serve at our home church's marriage seminar, helping with the kids while their parents attended the seminar. We had a blast hanging out with the kids, playing games and learning about the super heroes of faith. another part of the team had the opportunity to lead a children’s ministry workshop in New Jersey. Last week we had the honor of having Pastor Fabian the DYD of the New Jersey district come out and share an awesome sermon about having the heart of a servant. Tomorrow we are honored to have another chapel with Kevin Dawson, followed on Friday by Pastor Luke of Centerbranch Assembly. Also this Friday, we areoffering our home opener appreciation dinner, to thank them for all that they do. Finally, this Sunday a team will be traveling to Haggerstown, MD for the Mid-Winter break youth rally. Keep us in pray as we have a lot of stuff ahead and we wait to gain everything God has for us.

Since last week we had the honor to serve with Chosen 300 in Philadelphia. Every week, Chosen 300 provides a warm place for homeless men to come, experience the presence of God through a powerful worship service, and be fed a warm breakfast. It is always an incredible opportunity to serve them and worship with them. This time, we also had the opportunity to do a drama as a part of the worship service.

We were blessed with the opportunity to go to Ocean City and serve at the Rock youth conference. We had the honor of being able to help with set up and tear down; we were also able to do one of our dramas on the main stage. We were able to head up a workshop where we taught the students some of our dramas, and how they could head up dramas to be able to minister in that way at their churches. We also had the opportunity to bring along with us some of our local youth student’s who helped us with our day to day stuff while we were there; some even helped with the drama we did on the main stage. We were blessed with all this and had a great time. We praise God for keeping us safe and teaching us so much trough the weekend.

Wow what a fun time we were able to have at the PK retreat in Illinois. We were able to help them with their yearly retreat for pastor’s kids. We helped by being counselors for them and also helped tear down. We were able to do some drama along with stomp. We had a blast just being able to hang out with students and learn who they are and what they have gone through. The other team went to Bear, DE to the Love of Christ Church and were able to minister through some of our dramas and also did stomp while they were there. Then we had the honor to be able to visit one of our MC alumni Sherryanne MacPherson and to do a Rally at the church she is a youth pastor at in Strasburg, PA.

We are back with a running start to the New Year. Just before Christmas break we had the honor to help ETA, with their school assembly program, helping with setup and tear-down and we were also able to do stomp and a drama. The assembly encourages students to make positive choices in their life concerning their character, peer pressure, bullying, and their scholastic achievement, and it was an honor to a part of that. That evening we had a great time of fellowship and food together as an MC family. Christmas break was a much needed time of rest and relaxation, where we were able to reconnect with friends and family, and get to share in the joy of the holiday together. Coming back from break, we kicked off the New Year together as an MC family. What better way to welcome it in then with family and prayer? Now the fun of the New Year begins! This weekend we are heading off to Ocean City, Maryland to help with the Pen-Del youth conference, where we will be ministering through stomp and dramas. We will also be serving as security and leading a workshop. Please pray for strength and safety as we travel and serve.

After the assembly we'll be returning for some awesome food and fellowship before Christmas break. We are all looking forward to spending time with friends an family before jumping back into everything in January.

Another two awesome youth conferences we had the opportunity to help with. In Kentucky we got to work with Brian Neugent with his youth conference, and got to listen to the awesome band Abandon. In Ocean City, Maryland we got help with the Alive youth conference which we took some of our awesome youth students from United youth group with us to help and we had a blast helping Gary Grecco and the Alive team. Soon we will be on Thanksgiving break and get to see out family for some the first time in almost four months. Pray that each of us travel safely and get back ready to go deep then before.

It seems as if our team has been there and back again. We sent a team to Ohio, New Jersey, and Kantner, PA at the same time. In Ohio we had the honor to help Tom Groot with the Ohio Reach youth convention. In New Jersey, we got to help Pastor Fabian Kalapuch with his ministry Youth Alive, we got to witness over 200 students receive Christ or re-dedicate their lives to him. In Kantner we were able to help with a outreach held by Pastor Tim Farkis and got to sever about 200 people dinner. We then had the opportunity to perform and speak at their Sunday morning service. Then when we got home we were all sent back toward New Jersey to help with the New Jersey pastors retreat. We had the blessing to be able to perform for their Kids. We got to play games with them and just have a blast. Soon we will be on the road again for Kentucky and Maryland, for the Kentucky youth conference and the Maryland Alive youth conference.

So much has happened in such a little amount of time since the last update. You can check out the pictures from our picture day at the beach on our facebook page. We then had the opportunity to go to West Virginia and help with nine 7 Project school assemblies where 97 students accepted Christ! This weekend we will be at the Potomac PKMK (Pastors Kids/Ministry Kids) retreat where we will have the opportunity to invest in the students’ lives and encourage them in their walk with God. Keep us in your prayers as we travel and minister to those God leads us.

Hey guy's were about a month in and a lot has happened in such a short time. Just last night a team went to Delaware County Christian School to do a seminar with 7th grade and their parents. And it was awesome, there were about 50 people there discussing how to overcome the negative influences of the media. This weekend we have and incredible opportunity to work with Kevin Dawson and the 7 Project. We will be helping with 9 school assemblies in only 3 DAYS. Keep them in your prayers, that God would strengthen them as they serve. It seems like yesterday we were walking into the doors, ready to embark on this 9 month journey. We are all growing expectantly, building the family bonds, and learning God's word day by day. Thank you all who keep us in your prayers.
