The Presbyterian Missionary Union (PMU) is a non-profit missions agency associated with the Bible Presbyterian Church. It is directed by a Missions Council of Christian ministers and elders who voluntarily give their time to guide the ministry.
Founded in 1985, it strives to assist the Church in fulfilling its missions ministry in the Reformed tradition: "zealously heralding King Jesus in all the world, depending upon God’s sovereignty, preaching the whole counsel of our covenant God, and guided by the Doctrines of Grace."
