Although COSIM agencies partner with indigenous agencies all over the world, membership is limited to North American churches and agencies who are able to attend meetings and network throughout the year. We encourage the development of COSIM-like networks in other regions of the world.

However, you do not have to be a “member” to attend the COSIM conferences.

Agencies of a type that is similar to one of the following are the best candidates for COSIM membership, as these types of agencies are most likely to receive practical benefit from COSIM and contribute to the types of discussions involved in the COSIM network:

• Missions agencies whose primary work is the support of indigenous missions.
• Mission agencies that have a separate project or department that focuses on the support of indigenous missions.
• Training or support service agencies set up to primarily serve indigenous missions.
• Churches that support indigenous missions as a significant part of their work and have committee members who are specializing in learning about this type of work.
