Council for World Mission (CWM)



Council for World Mission

The Council for World Mission (CWM) is a worldwide community of 31 Christian denominations working as equals with a common commitment to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Established in 1977, it grew out of the London Mission Society, the Commonwealth (Colonial) Missionary Society and the (English) Presbyterian Board of Missions.

Each partner Church develops its own local mission programme, whilst supporting the work of others through the sharing of experience, people and other resources.  Read more about CWM...
