Church Missionary Society - Australia Limited
About
Church Missionary Society - Australia Limited is a Christian mission agency that raises funds to support missionaries and workers serving in church planting, evangelism, and Christian ministry worldwide. The organization connects donors with individual workers and projects across multiple continents, including South Asia, Africa, East Asia, The Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. With branches throughout Australia, CMS Australia facilitates giving towards specific named workers and ministry locations.
Tips for Applicants
As this is a mission agency that supports its own workers rather than providing external grants, prospective mission organizations or workers would need to apply to become CMS Australia missionaries rather than seek direct funding. Individual donors should contact their local CMS branch to give towards specific workers or projects.
Giving Philosophy
CMS Australia operates a person-to-person giving model where donors can support specific named missionaries and workers in designated regions. The organization values long-term partnership in gospel ministry and provides tax-deductible giving options for eligible donations. Recipients are typically individuals or couples serving through church planting, evangelism, and Discipleship in various global contexts.
