The Missionary Committee of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada Missionary Society met annually to review missions sustained by the Society, make decisions regarding the future of the work, apportion and appropriate funds, and select and appoint missionaries for Canada and abroad. The functions of the Committee were continued under the Central Missionary Board, established with the formation of the Methodist Church of Canada in 1874, and under the General Board of Missions, established with the formation of the Methodist Church (Canada) in 1884. Commencing in 1833, the operations and finances of the Missionary Society of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada were administered by a Board of Managers, elected annually by the Society, and audited by the Missionary Committee. In 1858, the Board was replaced by the Committee of Consultation and Finance appointed by the Missionary Committee. The Committee of Consultation and Finance continued under the Central Missionary Board of the Methodist Church of Canada, and under the General Board of Missions of the Methodist Church (Canada). The name of the Committee changed in 1894 to Executive Committee. The Committee on Estimates was appointed by the Executive Committee in 1907 to report to the General Board of Missions regarding projected income and expenditures. It met twice yearly.
