SOMA USA has been, and continues to be, an essential ministry connecting church leaders from our country with global Anglicans throughout the worldwide Church. In addition to the many hundreds of missions taken abroad, we minister locally through “Missions to the USA”, bringing seasoned global Christian leaders to strengthen and renew leaders in the Western Church.
Browse the missions below to understand the scope and reach of SOMA’s ministry over the decades. Go to the Newsletter tab to read articles and view photos from some of these missions.
