First established as the Foreign Mission Department of the National Council, it was responsible for coordinating Church programs on overseas missions. The department underwent multiple name changes in the 1960s and 1970s before being designated as World Mission in Church and Society in 1980. In addition to its involvement with specific programs such as the Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence (MRI) program, Partners in Mission, and the United Thank Offering (UTO), World Mission in Church and Society both supported schools, hospitals, and missions established during the Church’s early involvement in the Philippines, Japan, Liberia, and elsewhere and cultivated networks of support between the independent churches and provinces of the Anglican Communion. In 1989 World Mission in Church and Society became the International Ministries sub-group of the Witness and Outreach committee of the Executive Council.

The World Mission in Church and Society records document the efforts of the office to support schools, hospitals, and missions established during the Church's early overseas involvement. Correspondence, reports, medical shipment records, photographs, and printed materials are included.
