=== Founding of the CMS mission in New Zealand ===
The CMS founded its first mission at Rangihoua in the Bay of Islands in 1814 and over the next decade established farms and schools in the area. [[Thomas Kendall]] and William Hall were directed to proceed to the Bay of Islands in the ''Active'', a vessel purchased by [[Samuel Marsden]] for the service of the mission, there to reopen communication with [[Ruatara (chief)|Ruatara]], a local chief; an earlier attempt to establish a mission in the Bay of Islands had been delayed as a consequence of the [[Boyd Massacre]] in Whangaroa harbour in 1809.<ref name="CARv2">{{cite book |last1= Carleton |first1=Hugh |title= The Life of Henry Williams|year= 1874 |publisher=[[Early New Zealand Books]] (ENZB), University of Auckland Library|chapter= Vol. I |chapter-url=http://www.enzb.auckland.ac.nz/document?wid=1038&action=null}}</ref> Kendall and Hall left New South Wales on 14 March 1814 on the ''Active'' for an exploratory journey to the Bay of Islands. They met ''[[rangatira]]'' (chiefs) of the [[Ngāpuhi]] including [[Ruatara (chief)|Ruatara]] and his uncle [[Hongi Hika]]; Hongi Hika and Ruatara travelled with Kendall when he returned to Australia on 22 August 1814.

In April 1817 William Carlisle, and his brother-in-law Charles Gordon, joined the mission from New South Wales.

The concern about the European impact on New Zealand, particularly lawlessness among Europeans and a breakdown in the traditional restraints in Māori society, meant that the CMS welcomed the United Kingdom's annexation of New Zealand in January 1840, with Henry Williams assisting Captain [[William Hobson]] by translating the document that became known as the [[Treaty of Waitangi]].<ref name="CMSNZ ">{{Cite encyclopedia|url= http://www.teara.govt.nz/1966/M/Missions/ChurchMissionarySociety/en |title=Church Missionary Society|access-date=18 July 2008 |encyclopedia = [[Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand]]}}</ref> Henry Williams was also involved in explaining the treaty to Māori leaders, firstly at the meetings with [[William Hobson]] at [[Waitangi, Northland|Waitangi]], but also later when he travelled to Port Nicholson, Queen Charlotte's Sound, Kapiti, Waikanae and Otaki to persuade Māori chiefs to sign the treaty.<ref name="CARv2-4">{{cite book |last1= Carleton |first1=Hugh |title= The Life of Henry Williams: "Early Recollections" written by Henry Williams |year= 1874 |publisher=[[Early New Zealand Books]] (ENZB), University of Auckland Library|pages=15–17|chapter= Vol. II |chapter-url=http://www.enzb.auckland.ac.nz/document?wid=1048&page=1&action=null}}</ref> His involvement in these debates brought him "into the increasingly uncomfortable role of mediating between two races".<ref name="dnzb-HW">{{cite web|last = Fisher| first = Robin| work = Dictionary of New Zealand biography | title = Williams, Henry 1792 – 1867 |url= http://www.dnzb.govt.nz/dnzb/default.asp?Find_Quick.asp?PersonEssay=1W22|date = 22 June 2007 |access-date=28 October 2013}}</ref>

The CMS missionaries held the [[low church]] beliefs that were common among the 19th century [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] members of the [[Anglican Church]].

The CMS reached the height of its influence in New Zealand in the 1840s and 1850s. Missions covered almost the whole of the North Island and many Māori were baptised.

== Early CMS personnel in New Zealand ==
The CMS provided training for missionaries at the [[Church Missionary Society College, Islington]], [[London]]. [[George Selwyn (bishop of Lichfield)|Bishop George Selwyn]] established [[St John’s College (New Zealand)|St. John’s College]] at [[Te Waimate mission]] in June 1842 to provide theology to candidates for ordination into the Anglican Church. In 1844 Bishop Selwyn moved St John’s College to [[Auckland]]. The CMS in London began to reduce its commitment to the CMS mission in New Zealand in 1854, and no further missionaries were sent out until Joseph Sydney Hill and William Goodyear arrived in 1878; they were the last CMS missionaries sent out from England.<ref name="ES1"/> Members of the mission who arrived before 1854 included:
