CWM: a partnership of churches in mission

CWM is a worldwide community of churches, representing 13 million believers, committed to practising partnership in mission.

We believe that mission begins with God and that we are partners with God in mission. Mission is a task of the whole church and not just of interested individuals.

Our 31 members share their experience of mission through training, short-term exchanges and conferences. In partnership through CWM they also share financial resources and missionaries from one side of the globe to the other to carry out God's mission locally.

CWM has 31 members in Africa, the Caribbean, East Asia, Europe, the Pacific and South Asia.

Although CWM is just over 30 years old it is built on a long history of mission. CWM arose out of the London Missionary Society in 1977. It owes a great deal to its forerunners in mission - including such names as David Livingstone, John Williams and Robert Moffat - for sharing the word of God and Christianity across the globe from as far back as 1795.

CWM was set up to embrace more churches across the globe and widen its scope for mission by putting equality of partnership at the heart of its mission practice.
