Who We Are
Houston Master's Commission is a one to two- year program that helps cultivate maturity within spiritual growth, discipleship, and personal development. We strive to create an environment that allows our students to grow in their relationship with Christ, while learning practical life skills that will help them succeed in their future aspirations. Houston Master's Commission is committed to equipping our students to become well-rounded individuals ready to reach the world for Jesus. Our Mission is to Know God and Make Him Known. We believe in order to make Him known, one must first know Him. Houston Master's Commission is a wonderful greenhouse to help young people know what they believe and why.

Ministry Focused Training
Houston Master's Commission is based in Crossroads Fellowship, which provides a number of opportunities to grow in different areas of ministry. Our home church offers ministries such as youth, kids, tech, worship, outreaches, prayer ministries, as well as orphan care. Houston Master's Commission also travels to other churches during the school year to minister to different youth groups. During these travel services, a student can expect to participate in worship, games, sharing personal testimonies, as well as opportunities to pray over youth students.
