When the Church was introduced in 1994, Cambodia was part of the Thailand Bangkok Mission. This mission was divided in July 1998 to form the Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission.[7] This mission initially also included Vietnam until the mission was divided again to create the Vietnam Hanoi Mission in July 2016. The Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission mission boundaries is the same as the country's boundaries. The mission office is located in a meetinghouse at Building 2B Street 222 in Phnom Penh.
