The group's goal was "to promote an earnest Christian life among its members, to increase their mutual acquaintanceship, and to make them more useful in the service of God." The organization soon became a world movement, with international conventions. By 1906 there were 67,000 youth-led Christian Endeavor societies worldwide, with four million members. In 1887, Francis E. Clark was elected president of the United Society, and in 1895 he was chosen as the World President of the Christian Endeavor Union, followed by Daniel A. Poling. World Conventions were held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1937 and 1951. The organization's world headquarters moved from Boston, Massachusetts, to Columbus, Ohio, in 1952. Christian Endeavor International continues today, based in Edmore, Michigan, and operates in 80 countries. The CEO is Timothy Eldred."
