The CGCM is an innovative hub of research, documentation, and outreach that focuses on the intersection of mission movements, World Christianity, and global community.
The Center for Global Christianity and Mission is a node in a much larger network. Seldom is that so clear as during the summer, when schedules make it easier to travel. People move from Boston to other parts of the world. For instance, in July 2026, two professors and three Ph.D. students from Boston University will attend the International Association of Mission Studies in Johannesburg, South Africa. At the same time, this summer means the CGCM welcomes a number of new Visiting Researchers who are arriving in Boston from East Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This global circulation of people creates remarkable possibilities for cross-fertilization and collaboration. Whether you will be passing through Boston, or someone from the Center will be traveling to you, we hope to connect. It is what keeps the CGCM vibrant.
