The
Constitution of the EMS outlines important features of the
Society:
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the Evangelical Missiological Society is to
advance the cause of world evangelization 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 the schools
of missionary training around the world.
PROGRAM:

stimulation among active and retired professors of missiology
and closely allied disciplines, missionary/missiologists,

This fellowship exists
as a platform for the discussion of missiological and theological
concerns growing out of the mandate of the Church to "disciple
the nations." Emphasis is also given to the preparation

service, and mission-related administration.
