The Mission Society

The Mission Society is an interdenominational Christian organization that recruits, trains, and sends missionaries around the world. Based in Norcross, Georgia, United States, The Mission Society was incorporated on January 6, 1984. The Mission Society is Wesleyan in theology and currently supports more than 225 missionaries to 32 nations.

When founded, The Mission Society was known as The Mission Society for United Methodists. It was created as a supplemental mission-sending agency to the United Methodist Church. The Mission Society's board of directors voted to change the name to "The Mission Society" in 2006, in order to reflect the interdenominational nature of the organization.

The Mission Society receives no denominational funding and is supported by individuals and churches, primarily located in the United States. All missionaries are responsible for raising their own financial support. The Mission Society is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), accreditation agency dedicated to helping Christian ministries earn the public’s trust through adherence to seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship.

In addition to recruiting the training missionaries, The Mission Society’s church ministry department offers seminars, workshops, and mentoring for congregations in the United States and abroad, in order to help local churches get involved in missions locally, nationally, and internationally.

The Mission Society published a quarterly magazine, Unfinished, about its work around the world. The magazine was formerly named "Heartbeat," before undergoing a design change in 2006. Unfinished was awarded an Award of Merit from the Evangelical Press Association (EPA) on May 9, 2008. Awards honor the best work contributed by EPA publications during the 2007 calendar year.

The Mission Society’s statement of faith is…

The Great Commandment (Matt 22:37) calls each of us to love God with all our heart, mind, and soul.

The Great Commission (Acts 1:8) calls each Christian believer to spread the Gospel locally, nationally, and internationally.

The Great Commandment and the Great Commission are inextricably linked and one is not possible without the other.

There is only one Gospel.

Jesus Christ is the only Savior and is the one and only human form of God. Jesus gave Himself as the only payment for sinners and sin. Jesus is the only intermediary between God and humanity.
