What is GEM and what is our mission?

Great Exchange Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit ministry and faith-based service provider offering coaching, conferences, and transformational ministry services designed to glorify God and empower the church of Jesus Christ to build Christlike Leaders.

What makes GEM distinctive?

Great Exchange Ministries, Inc. seeks to encourage and equip pastors, church staff, ministry leaders, life coaches, counselors, churches, and organizations to become Christlike leaders.

GEM wants to help you reach the fulness of all that the Father intends for you to be and fulfill His plan for your life and ministry. Your Heavenly Father wants to equip you and your ministry to build the Kingdom! But many leaders lack a roadmap and struggle to move ahead. They need a practical biblical approach!

GEM utilizes a biblical and proven approach to do that!

The “Four Keys to Christlikeness” make this a reality:

  • Biblical Identity

  • Spiritual Breakthrough

  • Mature Character

  • Spirit-led Life

Romans 12:2 says that we are to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. GEM creates a personalized plan for each individual to make this a reality as biblical truths are applied to specific areas of life.
