The Council for World Mission (CWM) is a worldwide partnership of Christian churches, comprising 36 denominations that share resources, people, skills, and insights globally and locally to accomplish and fulfill the Christian mission. The organization includes churches of Reformed and United tradition, many of which historically originated from the work of the London Missionary Society (1795), the Commonwealth Missionary Society (1836), and the Presbyterian Council for Missions (1847).
