When the New Zealand Church Missionary Association was formed in 1892, the constitution of the Association defined its aims and objectives as “… a society of members of the Church of the Province of New Zealand, based upon the evangelical principals … of the CMS for Africa and the East … to send missionaries to the mission-fields occupied by the CMS in connection with and under the direction of the parent CMS Committee .. to engage in missionary work in such other fields not occupied by the CMS.” The Association changed its name to the New Zealand Church Missionary Society in 1916 and remains active in the field today.
