The Mission Society provides global missionary support through missionary recruiting, missionary training and equipping church leaders and others to lead international and short-term mission trips. Based in Norcross, GA, The Mission Society was originally formed to support Methodist missionaries, but now works with a variety of Wesleyan denominations offering missionary training, missionary seminars, missionary workshops and church leadership training throughout the United States and around the world.

The Mission Society Interest Form

Interest Form

To be completed by all short-term and long-term candidates. This includes interns, campus missionaries, Global Resource Team members, Mission Explorers, and Career missionary applicants.

NOTE:  The purpose of this form is to get better acquainted with you. It is not an application form. Please understand that it provides The Mission Society with helpful background information. The Interest Form does not commit you or The Mission Society to an employment decision. Rather, it serves as a tool for prayerful dialogue and exploration of ministry options.

For married or engaged couples, we ask that both individuals submit completed Interest Forms. The Mission Society is a faith based agency and all of our missionaries raise their own personal support before departing to a field.
