SAMS serves the Episcopal/Anglican Church by helping to send people. SAMS missionaries share the good news of Jesus Christ through words and actions in partnership with the Anglican Church primarily in the Americas.

SAMS sends adults to serve from a month to a career ( long-term missions ). SAMS also sends teams from churches for one to two weeks ( short-term missions ) for assignments such as building homes for the poor or running a VBS.

SAMS supports individuals and churches who are called to go, give, or pray. Individuals who sense a call to serve as missionaries are assisted through a careful discernment, training and placement process. Short-term mission teams are given support through comprehensive training, logistical coordination and debriefing.
