The Rural Home Missionary Association (RHMA) is a rural church network in the United States.[1] It was founded in 1942.[2]

RHMA seeks to plant new churches and strengthen existing churches through conferences and training.[1] Glenn Daman suggests that it has been "instrumental in expanding rural church ministry."[3]

In her 2019 book God Land, Lyz Lenz relates how she attended an RHMA training conference and was advised to carry a gun while preaching.[4] Lenz argues that the curriculum was "male-centric" and notes that RHMA-supported missionaries must be "men in heterosexual relationships".[5]
