About CMM
A family on mission
Christ's Mandate for Missions is an interdenominational, spirit-filled missions family that has been sending, equipping and standing with native leaders since 1978. We love the local church, we believe in the people God has already placed in every nation, and we walk with them for the long haul — in prayer, in training, and in friendship.
Our mission
Our mission is to Love, Equip, Connect and Send messengers of fire globally with the simplicity, fullness, and power of God as an apostolic equipping ministry.
Our vision
CMM (Christ's Mandate for Missions) impacts and connects Ministers and Partners in our global family with thriving, loving relationships and resources leading to transformation in individuals, ministries, and nations.
Our story
CMM's story begins with Sidney and Helen Correll, trained under Aimee Semple McPherson at L.I.F.E. Bible College and Angelus Temple, and ordained and married in 1925. After decades of pioneering world missions — including founding United World Missions in the 1940s — the Corrells established Correll Missionary Ministries (CMM) in 1978 as a missions launching pad and equipping hub. In 1998, Michael Correll, son of the founders, asked Dr. Jorge Parrott to lead CMM, and under his leadership the ministry — now Christ's Mandate for Missions — has grown into a true global family working in 70+ nations. In 2007, CMM founded the CMM College of Theology, a global, online, Spirit-filled, interdenominational school.
