INTRODUCTION

Chinese Mission Seminary (CMS) is a inter-denominational seminary established in Hong Kong in 1987. The founding purposes are: (1) to respond to the challenges of 1997 together with the churches in Hong Kong, by producing a new generation of Christian workers who can engage in ministries of spiritual formation, evangelism, discipleship, church-planting and missions, which will generate a new church renewal movement; (2) to face the challenge of China together with Chinese churches worldwide by producing Christian evangelists, missionaries and researchers for the evangelization of the Chinese people and transformation of the Chinese culture with the Gospel.

VISION AND MISSION

Evangelization of the Chinese People
We want to assist the church in China to accelerate in her task of evangelism. During the last 50 years, there has been a 100 fold increase in the number of Protestant believers from 84,000 communicant members in 1949 to approximately 84 million today. Never have the Chinese people been more open to the Gospel than the last twenty years. China is now enjoying an unprecedented era of golden opportunity for evangelism, yet threatened by a rapid surge of consumer materialism.

The Kingdomization of the Chinese Church
We want to help the Church in China to develop a dynamic and universal concept of the church on the march unto Zion, with her eyes focused on the triune God. We want to help her leaders to have a Biblical perspective on the church that transcends the limitations of locality and the emerging Chinese denominational sectarianism. We want to promote cooperation among church groups to work together as the body of Christ to accomplish the Great Commission and to share spiritual gifts with each other.

The Christianization of Chinese Culture
We want to help the Church in China to develop and apply the Biblical concept of cultural mandate so that the benefits of the Gospel will not be confined to the inner chambers of the individual believers hearts, but also be manifested outwardly in the transformation or Christianization of Chinese culture and social institutions, and thereby contribute to China nation building.
