According to the church’s website, Presbyterians have been heeding the call of Jesus Christ for more than 200 years, spreading the good news throughout the world and proclaiming the saving love of Christ to the furthest ends of the earth.

According to the church, Presbyterian Mission is the denomination's national ministry arm, the largest of the six general assembly organizations for the Presbyterian Church USA.

The church said wherever the Holy Spirit leads and the General Assembly instructs everyone, they gladly collaborate with congregations, mid councils, worshiping communities, mission networks, and many other organizations to nourish and encourage Christ's disciples.

It added that evangelism and discipleship, developing servant leaders, and justice and reconciliation are the three key areas where Presbyterian Mission seeks to inspire, equip, and connect the church. 

They carry out this work through four areas of ministry: justice, peace, and compassion; women's intercultural ministries and racial equity; theology, education, and outreach; and global mission.

To develop, equip, encourage, and transform devoted disciples, the ministries of theology, formation, and evangelism collaborate with the entire church, including its congregations, new worshiping communities, mid councils, pastors, and members. 

They provide ministry to children, teenagers, and young adults. Numerous resources, like as curricula, theological articles, and worship and devotional materials, are published by the organization.
