About Us

The New Zealand Church Missionary Society has been around for a while, in fact 117 years. We’ve got people on a mission in all sorts of places: Africa, Asia, the Middle East & Europe.

Our society has been working in New Zealand from the very beginning of our country's history. In fact, the gospel first came to New Zealand in 1814 with the Church Missionary Society. Shortly after 1892, when a New Zealand branch was started, the first missionaries were sent overseas to serve the Lord; since then NZCMS has continued to send people into many parts of the world.
