We are a professional society with more than 350 members comprised of missiologists, mission administrators, teachers, pastors with strategic missiological interests, and students of missiology. 

The Evangelical Missiological Society (EMS) exists to advance the cause of world evangelization. We do this through study and evaluation of mission concepts and strategies from a biblical perspective with a view to commending sound mission theory and practice to churches, mission agencies, and schools of missionary training around the world.  We hold an annual National Conference and eight regional meetings held throughout the USA and Canada.

We are Evangelical...that is, we are committed to the doctrinal foundations that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone and that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.

We are Missiological...that is, we facilitate the discussion of missiological and theological concerns growing out of the mandate of the Church to disciple the nationsУ and are committed to theological integration within all of missionary work and thinking.  

We are a Society...that is, we exist to promote fellowship and professional stimulation among active and retired professors of missiology, anthropology, and closely allied disciplines, missionaries, mission administrators and pastors with strategic missiological interests, and students of missiology.  Emphasis is also given to the preparation and dissemination of information, books, and practical tools designed to assist members in missionary training, missionary service, and mission-related administration.
