Stronger and better together:
Joining Jesus in the restoration of the world!
Even now, especially now, the SOS Bishop and Staff are at work carrying out the mission and ministry of the Southern Ohio Synod mission territory. Much of our work is behind the scenes since we can't yet meet with you physically in your congregations. So, please check out our SOS Calendar for a look at what we have going on via online meetings as we continue to lay the ground work for our work together as we Clarify, Collaborate and Cultivate. We are stronger and better together, even on Zoom!
