History
The LMS Samoa District was the London Missionary Society mission church in Samoa. The governing body was made up of the European missionaries in Samoa. Throughout the 19th Century the LMS Samoa District evangelised Niue, Tuvalu, and the South of Kiribati (which was known as the Northwest Outstation). The missions and emerging churches in Niue, Tuvalu and South Kiribati were under the control and administration of the Samoa District Committee. Samoan missionaries looked after the churches in Niue and Tuvalu under the supervision of European LMS missionaries.
