a community of prayer connecting the church worldwide
SOMA UK enables encounters with God around the world which envision and equip leaders for mission and evangelism and the development of other leaders. We are a community of prayer which connects the church across the Anglican World especially through sending and receiving short-term cross-cultural teams.
SOMA Updates
Dates for your diary
We have lots of exciting missions planned for the rest of 2024 and beyond, and now we are in need of teams to make these trips happen. Could you or anyone you know join a SOMA mission? Could your church gather a team and bring back stories of faith and hope back to your congregation?
In May and July we are hosting two SOMA Showcases, an opportunity for those in the UK to hear stories from mission, and learn more of the heart of what we do and why we do it. These days have been created to be a blessing to you, so there will also be teaching and ministry time that enables you to have an encounter with God and tune into what He might be saying to you. Book your tickets here.
FAQs
We now have a dedicated FAQs page to answer all your questions about SOMA missions. We hope it gives you confidence to join a future team.
