The mission of the Synod of South Atlantic is to serve Jesus Christ and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) faithfully by encouraging cooperation among sessions, presbyteries, and the General Assembly by supporting the ministries of its 16 presbyteries, 976 churches, and 267,875 members.

The synod serves this mission through supporting development of new churches, transformation of congregations, and development of racial ethnic congregations. It serves this mission by providing scholarships for theological education, covenanting with church-related institutions within its bounds, and fulfilling the constitutional and administrative responsibilities assigned to it in the Book of Order. It also serves this mission by facilitating conversation between governing bodies and offering pastoral care and support to each presbytery staff member.

The synod has covenant relationships with Columbia Theological Seminary, Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary, Agnes Scott College, Eckerd College, Presbyterian College, Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, Thornwell Home for Children, The Duvall Presbyterian Home, Florida Presbyterian Retirement Homes, Villa International, and Westminster Retirement Communities.
