Who we are

Overview of CMS Africa

Our Roots

CMS-Africa was formed in 2008 out of the 1799 CMS (Church Mission Society). It was formed out of the fact that the Church in Africa has grown and had the potential to self-propagate within Africa and be an agent to mobilize for Christian Mission from Africa to the rest of the world.


Our Vision and Mission

CMS-Africa’s Vision is “Renewed Mindsets: Transformed Nations”. As a Christian Mission agency, CMS-Africa exists “to equip and multiply leaders in Church and Society for community transformation.”


Our Network

We are part of the CMS Mission Network together with CMS Britain, CMS Ireland, Asia CMS, CMS Australia, New Zealand CMS, SAMS-Ireland, Faith 2 Share, and SAMS USA.

Our strategic Focus

To achieve her mission, CMS-Africa strategy 2020-2025 is organized in 3 strategic focus areas: 

  • Building partnerships for Local and Global Mission
  • Strengthening Mission Support services.
  • Biblical Worldview and Stewardship
